Koering Holds to Double Through Mahmoud
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
When PokerNews got to the table, Yassin Mahmoud had 9,000 in front of him on the button and Nemo Koering had shoved for just under 100,000 from the big blind. Mahmoud didn't need to think for too long and flicked in a call.
Nemo Koering: K♦J♥ 
Yassin Mahmoud: Q♣7♣
Koering was only marginally ahead, but that changed when the flop came down 10♣A♥K♠, which gave him second pair. Mahmoud did have a gutshot, but he couldn't find it as the 3♣ turn and 9♥ river earned Koering a double-up.
