Bortsov Doubles Through Saad
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Nils Pudel opened the cutoff to 20,000 before Sergey Bortsov moved all in from the button for about 160,000. The action was then on Eli Saad in the small blind who asked for a count of both players stacks. After doing some accounting he went into the tank and eventually announced he was all in covering both players.
Pudel got out of the way and the cards hit their backs with Bortsov all in and at risk.
Sergey Bortsov: 5♣5♦
Eli Saad: A♥K♣
There was no real sweat as the dealer quickly burned and turned the 7♦7♣Q♠9♦6♥ board and Bortsov would earn the pure double by way of winning the flip against Saad.
