Van Deutekom Cracks Aces To Double

Yde van Deutekom
Yde van Deutekom
On a flop of {10-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} Yde van Deutekom led out with a bet of 60,000 before Steve Billirakis came over the top for all of his chips. He covered van Deutekom who made the call.

Van Deutekom: {J-Spades}{7-Spades}
Billirakis: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

Van Deutekom held top pair but would need some help against the overpair of Billirakis. The turn provided no help when it bricked the {2-Hearts}, however the miracle {7-Hearts} came on the river to give van Deutekom two pair to stay alive with a double up to 590,000 much to the disappointment of Billirakis.
