Fondy Gets a Double Up Just Before the Break
Level 12
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Jim Fondy raised to 8,000 from middle position, and action folded around to the player in the small blind, who had just won two straight hands with preflop shoves and no callers.
After shoving for a third straight hand, he finally got called, by Fondy who had a shorter stack.
The players then tabled their hands, and Fondy was ahead and needed his hand to hold.

Small Blind: 
The flop came 
, which gave the small blind outs to the nut flush and straight.
The small blind asked for a heart or ten, which didn't come on the 
turn or the 
river.
This gave Fondy, who had been one of the earlier big stacks, some much-needed chips.
