Car Crash Grants Solaas Double and Lead

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

It looked like Ramakrishnan was managing to wear Solaas down and edge out in front before a car crash of a hand saw Solaas take a commanding lead.

Ramakrishnan was the button and made the standard limp, Solaas popped it up to 36,000, Ramakrishnan re-potted to 108,000, Solaas potted again, Ramkrishnan re-potted and all the chips were in the middle.

Raj Ramakrishnan: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Espen Solaas: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

Solaas was the at risk player but was in front with aces and both players were on their feet in anticipation.

"Hold! We want diamonds," the Norwegian player pleaded the dealer.

While there were no diamonds on the{a-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop, Solaas did spike top set. The {q-Clubs} river, however, gave Ramakrishnan some additional outs.

"It's always good to have a sweat on the turn," said Solaas.

While the {k-Clubs} river gave Ramakrishnan a set it was not enough and Solass went over to celebrate the double-up with his Norwegian rail.
