Souther Moving North

[user66118]

Theodore Korolchuk opened with a raise in late position, and Will Souther made the call from the small blind.

Heads up, then, the flop came out {K-Spades} {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts} , and Souther checked. Korolchuk followed up his preflop aggression with a postflop bet, and Souther check-raised all in for 150,000. Korolchuk had the covering stack, and he called to put his man to the test. Souther, though, had played it craftily:

Korolchuk: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}
Souther: {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds}

The turn {3-Spades} and river {10-Diamonds} did nothing to dampen Souther's double up, and he's back in this thing. Mark him down for about 375,000 now, some talkin' chips for the gregarious "Poker Monkey".
