Wilson Doubles a Short Stack; Higgins Above Average Stack

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Simon Wilson had opened from the cutoff and called when big blind Wanja Postel committed his final 37,000 in the big blind.

Wanja Postel: AK All in
Simon Wilson: Q9

Both players paired on the A109 flop, but Postel made a straight on the JQ river to take the pot and double up.

Over at another table, Alexandru Lupuleac made it 11,000 to go in the cutoff. Anthony Higgins then three-bet to 50,000 in the small blind to quickly call off when Lupuleac put him all-in for 111,000.

Anthony Higgins: AK All in
Alexandru Lupuleac: AQ

Neither player received help from the 89538 board, meaning Higgins doubled up.
