Snell Doubles Through Clee

Level 5 : 400/800, 800 ante

Terence A Clee raised to 2,000 from mid-position and action folded to Joe Snell on the button who put his last 3,100 in. The blinds folded and Clee quickly called.

Joe Snell: {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Terence A Clee: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

The flop came {2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{k-Hearts} for Snell to pick up a runner-runner flush draw but keep Clee ahead.

The turn was the {9-Hearts} for Snell to still have a chance to hit the flush to double up.

The river completed the board with the {a-Clubs} for Snell to hit a pair of aces to beat the eights of Clee to stay alive and double up.
