Van den Berg's Two Pair Good Enough for Double

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Thierry van den Berg
Thierry van den Berg

Thierry van den Berg was pondering a self-proclaimed ''tough call''. On a completed board of {3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{j-Spades} his opponent Andrea Piazza had gone all-in from the button after a check from big blind Van den Berg. The pot was worth roughly 120,000 and the jam was for a bit more, 149,000 effective.

Eventually, Van den Berg called and got shown that he was right. His {j-Hearts}{10-Spades} beat the missed straight draw of Piazza, who played {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. Van den Berg was relieved, while Piazza was left behind with 4,000 chips, looking for an opportunity to spin it up.
