Joyce Doubles to Leave Kraous as the Short Stack
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Anton Kraous opened to 150,000 from the cutoff and Philip Joyce called in the big blind with just 210,000 behind.
Joyce checked to Kraous, who bet enough to put Joyce all in on the 4♦10♦4♠ flop. Joyce committed his remaining stack into the middle and a showdown was held.
Philip Joyce: 6♦2♦
Anton Kraous: A♥K♠
Joyce was technically behind, but had a full 15 outs against Kraous' big slick.
The 7♦ immediately filled Joyce's flush draw to leave Kraous drawing dead. The A♣ river made it official and Joyce doubled while Kraous was left with just 525,000.
