Olsson Doubles Up

John Myung raised under the gun to 34,000 and the table folded around to Brian Olsson. Olsson quickly re-raised all in to 115,000 forcing Myung to go into the tank. After much thought Myung made the call and turned over {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs}. Olsson turned {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs} and the race was one.

The flop came {2-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {10-Hearts} giving Myung top pair, but Olsson a set. The turn was the {7-Spades} and the river {3-Diamonds}.

Olsson has 330,000 in chips and Myung is crippled with less than 30,000.

Two hands later Myung was eliminated when Deb Blair's {K-?} {Q-?} beat his pocket threes.
