Houchins Doubles

[user101598]

Level 27 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Action folded to Patrick Houchins in middle position who open-shoved his last 150,000 chips. Jerry Van Strydonck flatted in the cutoff and the action behind folded.

Showdown
Houchins: {5-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}
Strydonck: {k-Spades} {4-Spades}

The flop came down {a-Spades} {a-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} giving Houchins four extra outs to a straight. The {5-Hearts} turned giving him a leading pair of fives, but Strydonck could still win with a king or chop with a deuce. The {7-Spades} on the river was a brick however and Houchins doubled to nearly 400,000 chips.
