Limp-Shove and Get There

Gasperino Nicolas limped into the pot under the gun with a short stack, and the action came around to Josh Ewing in the small blind. He made a raise to 24,000, and that folded Caio Pimenta out of his big blind. Nicolas quickly announced a reraise all in for 102,000 total, and Ewing quickly called with the best hand, the covering stack, and a chance at the knockout.

Showdown
Nicolas: {A-Clubs} {3-Clubs}
Ewing: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}

The {Q-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {6-Clubs} flop was a good sweat for both players, and Nicolas began imploring the dealer to find a club in the deck.

Turn: {K-Clubs}

Nicolas yelled out barbarically and slammed his fist down on the felt, rattling everyone's chips on the table. He still needed to fade a board pair on the river, and the {10-Hearts} was clean and safe.

That's a very loud double for Mr. Nicolas, and it moves him back up across the 200,000-chip mark.
