Tsang and Thomas Double Up

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

After a raise from Stephen Chidwick from under the gun, Yan Shing Tsang shoved all in for 61,500 on the button. Chidwick tank-called with {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and was way ahead against Tsang's {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

The flop was {K-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Tsang removed his scarf. Perhaps it did the trick, as the {9-Spades} landed on the turn to give him the lead. Tsang's double-up was secured after the {2-Clubs} river and he put his scarf back on.

In the next hand. Julian Thomas limped in on the button, JC Alvarado completed and Chidwick checked. On the {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop, Thomas bet 5,000, Alvarado check-raised to 15,000, Chidwick folded, Thomas shoved 51,000 and Alvarado called.

Julian Thomas: {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
JC Alvarado: {8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

The {Q-Spades} turn and {Q-Clubs} river were meaningless and Thomas doubled.

"Ding ding ding!" the German laughed.
