Doubling Fitzgerald

[user38449]

Before the flop, Steven Silverman opened the pot with a raise, only to see Alex Fitzgerald move all in for a total of 146,000. After just a quick second of deliberation, Silverman called, putting Fitzgerald's tournament life in jeopardy.

Showdown:
Silverman: {A-Clubs}

Fitzgerald: {8-Clubs}

Fitzgerald managed to pull a third eight out of the deck on the flop, letting him breathe a little sigh of relief. The rest of the board ran out safe, and the young pro has earned himself an early double-up here, just pipping the 300,000-chip mark.
