He Doubles with River Straight (Short Deck Style)
Aaron Van Blarcum opened to 250,000 in the hijack with [QsQh], finding cutoff Jiang Xie He moving all in over the top holding [AcJs]. Now facing a total bet of 1,250,000, button Wai Leong Chan took a little while to pass his own [AdJc], but did so, leaving Van Blarcum to make a quick call.
The board remained safe for the queens as it rolled out [7hKd9h8d], but He’d picked up straight outs on the turn, which came good for the short stack with the [6h] river.
