Hickman Moves in the Right Direction
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Adam Rude opened in early position to 3,500, which the player in the small blind called. Douglas Hickman then moved all in from the big blind for 34,000. Rude called, and the small blind player folded.
Douglas Hickman: A♦A♣ 
Adam Rude: 10♦10♣
The flop came a monotone 6♣Q♣4♣, but as both players held a club in their hand, the flush draw was irrelevant.
The turn 4♥ left Rude with one opportunity to find one of his two available outs, but the river J♦ was no help, requiring him to pay Hickman his double-up.
