Edwards Finds a Crucial Double Up

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Noel Edwards jammed all in for 35,400 from middle position and Thomas Yenowine made the call from the small blind sitting on one of the big stacks in the room.

Noel Edwards: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Thomas Yenowine: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Edwards took a commanding lead in the hand. The {8-Spades} on the turn raised some eyebrows as Yenowine picked up an open-ended straight draw, but the {j-Hearts} on the river merely gave him a pair of jacks. Edwards held on for a double up prior to the last break of the night.
