Scherer Doubles with Rockets

Just before the end of the level, Niklas Flisberg and Anthony Scherer got it all in on a flop of {Q-Clubs} {6-Spades} {4-Clubs}. Scherer, who started the hand in the big blind, held {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}. Flisberg turned over {Q-Spades} {8-Clubs} for top pair. The board ran out {9-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}. Scherer, the player at risk of elimination, managed to double up to just over two million in chips when his rockets held up. Flisberg is down to 1,220,000.
