Douglas Smacks the River to Double
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Jakob Miegel completed from the small blind and Champie Douglas checked his option in the big blind.
The flop came down K♦2♣9♠ and Miegel led out for 80,000. Douglas jammed for 710,000, and Miegel made the call to try and send everyone to the final table.
Champie Douglas: 9♥7♥
Jakob Miegel: K♠6♦
Miegel was ahead with top pair against the middle pair of Douglas.
The 5♦ turn changed nothing, but Douglas found the card he needed on the 7♦ river, improving to two pair.
Douglas doubled up and the tournament remained on the final table bubble.
