Tygum Doubles Through Westbrook

Action folded around to Richard Tygum who moved all in for his last roughly 70,000 in chips. Ralph Westbrook was next to act on the button and he moved all in over the top. The blinds got out of the way and the hands were tabled to find the two players in a race situation.

Westbrook: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Tygum: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Tygum struck gold on the {Q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop, giving him a set of eights and propelling him even further into the lead. Westbrook paired his ace on the {A-Hearts} turn, but it was no match for Tygum's hand. The {7-Spades} rivered and Tygum was able to score a double up.

This hand knocked Westbrook down to 68,000 in chips. He would bust a few hands later.
