Eldar Doubles Through Rijkenberg

David Eldar has just doubled up through big stack Constant Rijkenberg, and when the hand was over, he thought he'd been eliminated.

The two traded raises before the flop, with Rijkenberg ultimately putting Eldar to a decision for all his chips. A call was made and the cards revealed:

Eldar: {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}
Rijkenberg: {J-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}

The {J-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} flop was devastating for Eldar, as it gave his Dutch opponent top two pair. The {A-Diamonds} then fell on the turn, giving Eldar a few additional outs with one card to come. Fortunately for him, the {7-Spades} was one of them.

For a moment, it seemed as if Eldar was about to get up from his chair conceding defeat, but a table neighbor kindly informed him, "You won."

Eldar took lightly to the news, simply shrugging his shoulders as he stacked his new chips -- 840,000 of them in total. After the hand, Rijkenberg dropped to right around 800,000.
