The board ran out {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Eyster earned the double up.

Fred Johnson Doubles Through Harrison Gimbel

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Harrison Gimbel has been building one of the bigger stack in the field, but on this hand he doubles up Fred Johnson.

A player in late position opened to 1,200 and Gimbel shoved all-in from the small blind. Johnson was in the big blind and called for less. The original raiser folded and Johnson was up against two over cards with pocket sixes.

Johnson: {6-}{6-}
Gimbel: {q-}{j-}

Gimbel couldn't catch one of his over cards, so Johnson doubled up. Gimbel is still sitting at just below 50,000.
