Balan Gets the Double

Nick Becker

Niveau 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action picked up on the flop in a hand between Kevin Hamacher in the small blind and Michael Balan on the button.

With over 150,000 in the pot and the board reading 10♠2♦8♦, the rest of the money went into the middle with Balan at risk.

Michael Balan: K♣K♦Q♠9♦ All in
Kevin Hamacher: Q♦J♥9♣6♥

The turn landed the 6♣ and the river brought the 8♥, and Balan's two pair, kings and eights secured him the double up.
