Vernet Doubles Up Against Atmani
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
After Miroslav Alilovic opened to 4,500 from middle position, the chip leader Sabare Atmani to his left three-bet then continued for 5,000 on a flop of 7♠8♦7♣.
But after he called preflop, Alilovic check-raised to 21,000. Atmani folded and the chips went in Alilovic's direction.
On the next hands, cards went on their backs on a flop of Q♥J♥4♣ with Jean-Pascal Vernet at risk for approximately 25,000 in the blinds against Atmani.
Jean-Pascal Vernet: Q♦8♠ 
Sabare Atmani: 6♥5♥
Vernet had top pair but Atmani was still hoping for hearts to hit a flush. But the 3♣ turn and the 9♣ river didn't change anything and Vernet doubled up.
