Peter Hengsakul Finds an Early Double
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
With about 1,275 in the pot on a board reading 
, the player under the gun checked. Peter Hengsakul was on the button and bet 1,000. His opponent then check-raised all in, and Hengsakul called.
Hengsakul was the player at risk holding 
for the nut-flush draw, and his opponent tabled 
. Hengsakul also had two overcards to go with his flush draw, and hit one of them when the 
peeled off on the turn. The river was the 
and Hengsakul doubled through, leaving his opponent with very few chips.
With over $1.3 million in earnings, Hengsakul looks to secure his first WSOP bracelet after finishing as runner-up in a $1,500 no-limit hold'em event in 2013 for an impressive $325,780.
