Prokopchuk Doubles Through Hobold
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Brazil's Douglas Hobold raised to 40,000 in the cutoff and Mikhail Prokopchuk three-bet to 85,000 on the button. Both blinds folded and Hobold then jammed with the covering stack. Prokopchuk gave it half a minute of consideration and folded.
Mikhail Prokopchuk: A♣Q♣ 
Douglas Hobold: 2♠2♥
The deuces remained ahead on the J♥10♣7♠ flop but the K♣ on the turn locked up the double for Prokopchuk, who even had a royal flush draw. No cherry on top followed as the 7♥ river followed for Prokopchuk to double for 470,000.
