Double For Saechao

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Chiab Saechao

We heard Chiab Saechao hit his hands against the felt and yell, "Yeah!" in celebration, so we went over to see what had happened.

Apparently Saechao got all in on a {6-}{J-}{7-} flop against a lone opponent for approximately 70,000. Chiab held the {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for an open-ended straight draw and his opponent held the {J-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for top pair.

The {6-Clubs} turn bricked for Saechao, however, the {10-Diamonds} river gave him the straight he was looking for and he doubled through to 145,000.
