Thierry van den Berg Doubles Through Anton Nikaj

Thierry van den Berg
Thierry van den Berg
Thierry van den Berg moved all in from middle position for his last 70,000 or so. Anton Nikaj called from the small blind and the players showed:

Van den Berg: {10-Spades} {8-Spades}
Nikaj: {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}

Van den Berg trailed in the hand but had live cards. The board ran out {9-Clubs} {5-Spades} {3-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} pairing van den Berg's ten and leaving him with the best hand. He doubled to about 160,000 in chips.
