Haile Doubles Up

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

William Koks opened the pot to 9,000 in middle position, and Richard Haile s three-bet shoved for his last 47,000. When it came back around to Koks, he spent a long while in the tank, eventually asking, "Will you show me a card?"

Haile was right there with the answer: "For forty-seven thousand, you can see them both."

Koks eventually decided he wanted to see, and he made the call to put Haile to the test.

Showdown
Koks: {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Haile: {8-Spades} {8-Hearts}

There was a sweat on the turn, but the {2-Spades} {A-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {5-Spades} board was blank for Koks. He'll send the double over to Haile, and both men are right around 100,000 now.
