Waikem Doubles With a Full House

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Craig Waikem checked from the small blind on the 2♣6♠9♣5♣ turn, and Stoyan Madanzhiev fired 70,000 from the big blind. Waikem made the call.

When the 5♦ paired the board on the river, Waikem led for 150,000. Madanzhiev paused only briefly before jamming, putting Waikem to the test for his remaining 212,000. Waikem flicked in a chip to call.

Madanzhiev sheepishly tabled A♠9♦ for just a pair of nines, but had been second best the whole way against Waikem's 2♦2♠ for a full house.
