Strobel Doubles Blaineau and Busts

Level 18 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The flop read {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Anthony Blaineau had checked from the small blind. Adrian Strobel shoved from under the gun with the slightly bigger stack for Blaineau to call for the 327,000 he had behind.

Anthony Blaineau: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Adrian Strobel: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

Blaineau had flopped a set while Strobel was sitting on the nut flush draw.

The rest of the board was completed with the {j-Clubs} on the turn and the {8-Clubs} on the river for Blaineau to improve to a full house on the turn to double up. Strobel was left with around 70,000 and lost them shortly after.
