Evans Finds an Early Double
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Action folded to Aaron McIntosh in middle position, and he made the call. It then folded to George Evans in the cutoff, and he raised all in for his stack of 76,000. It then folded back to McIntosh who thought over his decision for about a minute, before making the call to put Evans at risk.
George Evans: Q♥J♥ 
Aaron McIntosh: A♠10♦
It was a fair fight, but Evans would have to improve to stay in the tournament. When the board ran out 8♥Q♣2♣8♣4♥ he did just that, as he improved to two pair, queens and eights to take the pot and double up.
