Double For Dan Purcel

Dan Purcel - playing in his third flight in two days - opened this one with a raise from the cutoff to 5,000. Andreas Roder - playing in his second flight today - made the call on the button, with Pavel Svach - closing the action - calling from the big blind.

Svach checked the flop, with Purcel putting in a continuation bet worth 8,000. Roder re-checked his hole cards, gave Purcel a quick once over, and made the call, before Svach reached for his entire stack and thrust it over the line. As the dealer tossed Svach the big, red "all-in" button, Purcel shrugged and joined in the festivities, moving all-in for his last 36,900, while Roder sighed and folded face up.

Purcel was the player at risk with for second pair top kicker, while Svach had for bottom pair and a flush draw. The dealer burned and turned the , with the river pairing the board and securing Purcel a more-than-full double-up.
