Engel Doubles Through Chip Leader in Penultimate Level of Registration Period

Ari Engel Doubles Through "mmflpoker"
Ari Engel Doubles Through "mmflpoker"

Action was in Level 17, the second-to-last level of the registration period with blinds of 3,500/7,000 and an ante of 875. Ari Engel opened to 14,000 under the gun and received a call from "mmflpoker" in early position. Action folded around to "selsk32285" in the big blind, who defended to take action three ways to a flop of {9-Spades}{k-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}.

"selsk32285" checked and Engel made a continuation-bet of 17,000. "mmflpoker" called and "selsk32285" folded.

Action was then heads up to the turn {7-Spades} and Engel checked. "mmflpoker" fired out 65,531, more than two-thirds of Engel's remaining stack, and Engel check-raised all in for a total of 90,143. "mmflpoker" thought for about 15 seconds and then called off the remaining chips necessary to see the final card of the runout.

Ari Engel: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
"mmflpoker": {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

Engel was ahead and in need of fading just the two remaining fives in the deck, which he was able to do as the river came {8-Hearts} to score him the double.
