Big Slicks Helps Huelk to a Double-Up

Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Mark Huelk raised the hijack to 65,000 and Presiyan Tsvetanov shoved the small blind. Once the big blind folded, Huelk called off his stack of 540,000.
Mark Huelk: A?K?
Presiyan Tsvetanov: 7?7?
It was a flip that Huelk needed to win, and he got off to a good start after the K?4?2? improved him to top pair. Neither the 5? turn nor 5? river changed the outcome of the hand, and Huelk doubled up.
