Lucky Double (Times 2) for Hoedemaker
Dutchman Micha Hoedemaker has had a good last couple of hands. First he shoved his 38,000 stack in from the hijack after an under the gun raise. Russian Mikhail Marchenko shoved all in over the top from the button and the initial raiser went out of the way. "This is not good" Micha said after Marchenko had shoved. He was right in that assesment as his was up against Marchenko's .
"Give me the ace of clubs on the turn" Micha asked the dealer politely. The dealer didn't bring the to the table but did give Hoedemaker the winning hand on the turn: . The on the river made Hoedemaker's straight into a flush and he doubled to about 85,000.
Not much later he again was lucky. He got it in with pocket tens against pocket jacks but spiked a ten on the turn.
Hoedemaker, who started the day extremely short, finally has a stack to do some damage with. Now it's up to him to prove he can handle a somewhat bigger stack as effective as he knew the short stack.
