Andy Black Doubles Up with Aces

[user22113]

Andy Black (Ireland) has been having a rollercoaster of a day. He donked off some chips early on and since then has made a tremendous run. Sitting at the TV featured table, he just doubled up with {A-Diamonds}

against Eric Van der Berg (Holland). Eric Van der Berg had 8-8 against Black's Aces.

Here's what went down. Everyone folded to Black in the small blind and he raised to 35K. Van der Berg popped him back for 100K in the big blind. Black pushed all in for 450K total. Van der Berg had Black covered by 150K or more and eventually called. He was not happy to see with Black with Aces. Black stood up and paced around the TV table. He let out a small sigh of relief when the flop was all rags... {Q-Clubs}

.. Black thrust his arms in the air when he picked up a set on the turn after the {A-Spades}

fell. Eric Van der Berg was drawing dead and Black jumped past the 1 million mark for the first time. Van der Berg was crippled and had less than 200K.
