Dorbek Doubles

The board read :::8d :::3s :::5c :::6s and Mauri Dorbek had gone all in when I arrived at the table. Lauri Meidla spent a while umming and ahhing before finally throwing caution to the wind and making the call.

Meidla: :::Ks :::Ts for a flush draw and overcards
Dorbek: :::As :::Ac for a rather unexpected pair of aces

River: the :::9c, not bringing in Meidla’s flush

Dorbek thus doubled up to around 260,000. Meidla isn’t in any trouble after that, though – he’s still on 335,000.
