Level 24 : 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante
Theologis doubles through Stokkan
Theologis doubles through Stokkan

Out of the small blind, Preben "prebz" Stokkan kicked off the action with a raise to 118,750 and was called by Alexandros "Pwndidi" Theologis in the big blind.

Stokkan fired a first bet of 108,756 on the {q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop and did so again for 160,812 on the {k-Hearts} turn. Theologis called with 957,729 behind to see the {a-Spades} on the river and that prompted the third barrel and shove by Stokkan.

Theologis dipped into his time bank and eventually called to get shown {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for a bluff by Stokkan, as he secured the double with the {k-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a pair of kings.
