Golka Doubles Through Pham

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Rafael Golka raised to 26,000 only to have Edward Pham reraise to 70,000. Action folded back to Golka and he wasted little time in moving all in for a total of 188,000. Pham called and the cards were turned up:

Pham: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Golka: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

Golka was in good shape to double if he could just avoid a ten. He managed to do so when the flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. Pham seemed resigned to his fate when the {2-Diamonds} hit the turn. When the dealer followed that deuce with the {2-Hearts} on the river, Golka received a double-up to over 400,000.
