Albeck Hits a Boat on the River to Double
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Samuel Albeck and George Sandford limped in from late positions before Eran Carmi called from the small blind. Vivian Saliba checked out of the big blind and they went to the flop four-way.
Carmi led out for 15,000 on the 4?6?5? flop and only Albeck called.
Carmi bet 75,000 upon seeing the 7? hit the turn. Albeck shoved for 320,000 and after a few moments Carmi called.
Samuel Albeck: A?Q?6?5? 
Eran Carmi: J?J?7?8?
Albeck was ahead with two pair but Carmi had a lot of outs to double up. The 5? river wasn't one of those outs as Albeck improved to a full house, fives full of sixes to win the pot.
