Rampone Doubles and Then Some

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Nicholas Rampone has already made a final table this year in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Triple Chance but he doesn't want to stop there. In a recent hand, the first player to act raised to 1,600, two players called and Rampone went all in for 10,225 from the big blind. The initial raiser moved all in behind Rampone and the other players folded.

Rampone was well ahead with {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} against the {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. The board was relatively sweat free when it ran out {5-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Rampone earns himself a double up to 24,700.
