Doubling Darcourt

Guillaume Darcourt opened to 7,700 in late position, and the player to his left called. Noah Boeken came along from the big blind as well, and they went off to a three-handed flop.

It came {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}, and Boeken checked. Darcourt continued out with a bet of 19,900, and the man next door raised to 49,000 straight. Boeken reluctantly folded, Darcourt moved all in for about 84,000, and his opponent quickly called.

Showdown
Darcourt: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}
Man next door: {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}

Darcourt was looking to hold his aces to survive, but he'd need to fade the diamonds in the deck as well as any potentially perilous runner-runner combinations. The {4-Clubs} on the turn was safe for him, and the {K-Hearts} on the end was no danger either. That secures Darcourt's double up; he's sitting with just about 200,000 now after that big pot.

(Boeken says he folded king-queen.)
