Doubling Darcourt

[user66118]

Guillaume Darcourt opened to 7,700 in late position, and the player to his left called. Noah Boeken came along from the big blind as well, and they went off to a three-handed flop.

It came {K-Diamonds}

, and Boeken checked. Darcourt continued out with a bet of 19,900, and the man next door raised to 49,000 straight. Boeken reluctantly folded, Darcourt moved all in for about 84,000, and his opponent quickly called.

Showdown
Darcourt: {A-Spades}

Man next door: {A-Diamonds}

Darcourt was looking to hold his aces to survive, but he'd need to fade the diamonds in the deck as well as any potentially perilous runner-runner combinations. The {4-Clubs}

on the turn was safe for him, and the {K-Hearts}

on the end was no danger either. That secures Darcourt's double up; he's sitting with just about 200,000 now after that big pot.

(Boeken says he folded king-queen.)
