Whitaker Doubles Up
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
The hijack opened the pot to 50,000 before getting three-bet to 160,000 from Andrew Whitaker in the cutoff.
Michael Duek put in another raise from the button to 380,000 and the hijack quickly got out of the way. Whitaker called all in and players went heads up to a full board with Whitaker at risk.
Andrew Whitaker: A♠A♥3♣2♠ 
Michael Duek: K♣K♦J♣4♦
The flop gave Duek top set on 4♣2♥K♥ but the A♦ turn put Whitaker back in the lead. The 6♠ river gave Whitaker the pot and a new life in the tournament.
