Eric Froehlich Gets aa Double

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Tyler Smith was in the small blind, and Eric Froehlich in the big blind with not many chips left once he had seen the flop of {j-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

Smith gave the matter some thought before a bet from him saw Froehlich call all in.

Smith: {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Froehlich: {K-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

The turn was the {q-Spades} and the river the {9-Clubs}, giving Froehlich a king-high straight to keep him in the game.

Yashuo Chin opened the action, and Joe Beevers raised it up for most of his stack. It folded back around to Chin, who looked pretty unhappy with the situation but called. She said she didn’t have a good hand but a fold would be bad, so she raised to put Beever’s tournament life at risk.

Yashuo Chin: {10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}
Joe Beevers: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}.

Chin was quick to spot her two pair, but Beevers was just as quick to point out that he had a flush and the winning hand.

Igor Sharaskin Doubles Through Wing Wong

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Igor Sharaskin and Wing Wong got all the chips in the middle before the flop, with Wong holding the larger of the two stacks.

Sharaskin: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Wong: {A-}{A-}{J-}{4-}

Wong had the preflop advantage with his aces, and Sharaskin needed to improve in order to double up. The {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop was no help to Sharaskin, but the {K-Diamonds} turn gave him kings full to put him way ahead. The {J-Clubs} river changed nothing, and Sharaskin doubled up.
