Bichon Doubles Through Plauski

All in before the flop holding {8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} against Aleh Plauski's {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, a short-stacked Thomas Bichon would need a little bit of luck to stay alive, and he got just that...

Bichon picked up eight outs to make a straight after the flop came {7-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, and he'd get there on the turn when the {5-Diamonds} peeled off. Though the scales had tipped in Bichon's favor, Plauski still had outs for a flush, but missed when the board paired on the river ({5-Hearts}).

After the hand, Bichon stacked up 104,000 in chips while Plauski fell to 165,000.
