Reichel Lucky to Double
Level 36
: 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Frank Reichel moved all in from early position for 6,900,000. Action folded to John Ypma in middle position who moved all in for 15,600,000. Tsuf Saltsberg went deep into the tank in the cutoff before folding. The rest of the players folded and Reichel was at risk.
Frank Reichel: 
John Ypma: 
Reichel was behind and needed help. The flop came 
giving Reichel extra outs as well as backdoor chop opportunities as neither player had a spade. However the 
on the turn gave Reichel trips and put him firmly in control. The river of the 
was overkill as Reichel could barely believe it himself while Ypma looked on in disbelief and frustration.
