Neuville Doubles Up, Still Under Starting Stack
Niveau 4
: 100/300, 300 ante
The first levels' play had left Pierre Neuville with around 7,500 chips when he scored a double through from his table chip leader Michael Mischkot. Neuville called Mischkot's preflop raise to 1,200 from the big blind, then led out for 1,000 on the 
flop. Mischkot made the call, then bet 4,000 on the 
turn when it was checked to him. This bet made it impossible to fold to Neuville's shove for 4,700 total, and the hole cards went face-up:
Neuville: 
Mischkot: 
The river brought the 
and a double for Neuville, a prolific live tournament player and second on Belgium's all-time money list having racked up over $4.6 million in winnings to date.
