Patrick Chan Doubles Through Tom Hall

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Tom Hall raised from under the gun to 48,000, and Patrick Chan three-bet from the button to 118,000. Hall four-bet to 648,000, Chan shoved for a total of 834,000, and Hall called to put him at risk.

Hall: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Chan: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

Chan was racing for his tournament life and needed to improve to stay alive. The {7-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop changed nothing, and neither did the {7-Diamonds} on the turn. The {A-Diamonds} river was exactly what Chan was looking for, though, and he doubled up.
