Amaral Doubles Sheikh

No-Limit Hold'em

There was around 3,300 chips in the middle and the board read {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{A-Spades} between [Removed:163] and Chris Amaral when we got to the table. Sheikh had an all-in bet of 3,850 laid out in front of him and Amaral was in the tank. After a couple minutes and a pump fake or two, Amaral finally made the call. He held the {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a pair and a gutshot while Sheikh held the {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. The river completed the board with the {6-Diamonds} to give Sheikh two pair and he was able to double up to about 11,000 in chips. Amaral dropped back a bit to 23,000.
