Hanks Doubles Again!

[user66118]

Level 26

Limit Hold'em

First in from the small blind, Brent Hanks raised, and Eric Buchman raised it back from the big blind. "Take it up again, all the way to the top," Hanks announced, reraising as he was still stacking up the last pot, kneeling on his chair. Buchman capped it at 150,000, and Hanks called for most of his chips.

The flop came {A-Clubs} {8-Spades} {7-Spades} , and Hanks put his last 66,000 into the pot. Buchman quickly matched the stack, and the cards were on their backs.

Showdown
Hanks: {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts}
Buchman: {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}

Hanks had flopped lucky, and he was well ahead with two to come. The turn {J-Clubs} was a bit of a sweat, opening up another four outs for Buchman to make a straight. The river was the safe {K-Diamonds} , though, and Hanks has doubled for the second consecutive hand. This one takes him up to about 430,000, and he's feeling the rush right now.
