Lingham Flips Best to Double

Stewart Morrison
Stewart Morrison
Level 7 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action was joined as Vinny Lingham had manoeuvred his stack of 168,000 into the middle from the small blind, versus Matthias Eibinger in the hijack.

Vinny Lingham: A♦J♠ All in
Matthias Eibinger: 9♠9♦

Lingham gave himself a little extra equity by standing up from his chair, and it worked, as the dealer spread a 5♠J♥8♦ flop, moving him into the lead.

The 3♣ turn and 4♠ river kept his lead intact, giving him a double up.
