McDermott Doubles Through Cikinas

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

All the money was in preflop with Timothy McDermott at risk for 515,000 against Matas Cikinas who had him covered.

Timothy McDermott: {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Matas Cikinas: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

"It's a flip, guys," McDermott said to his rail. "I like this part, I don't have to do anything."

The board ran out {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and that gave McDermott a winning two pair, allowing him to double up through Cikinas who was left with just 640,000 chips.
