Double Double Your Refreshment

Priyan Demel opened with an under-the-gun raise to 3,000, and he found action in three places.

The flop brought {7-Clubs}

and a leading bet from Demel. He fired 8,000 at the pot, and Alain Roy made the call two seats over. Juha Lauttamus then stuck in a raise to 17,400. That was enough to fold the fourth player in the hand, but Demel quickly called. The action was back on Roy, and he moved all in for 24,400 total. Both opponents called, and Roy was at risk going to the turn.

It paired the board with the {8-Spades}

, and Demel moved all in with his covering stack. Lauttamus made the call for his own tournament life, and two players were now in jeopardy as the cards were turned up:

Demel: {K-Clubs}

Roy:

Lauttamus: {9-Hearts}

Both Roy and Lauttamus had flopped the nuts, and Roy was almost freerolling to the straight flush. The two of them would need to dodge a king or an eight to stay alive, and the river was the {5-Spades}
