Blackwood Doubles Into the Lead

Level 30
: 70,000/140,000, 20,000 ante
Phachara Wongwichit scooped two medium-sized pots, one with after flopping top pair, but the big pot went to Kevin Blackwood. Wongwichit had raised to 300,000 and was called. On the flop
, Blackwood led for 400,000 and was called before the
fell on the turn.
Blackwood fired 550,000 and Wongwichit then moved all in with his opponent snap-calling.
Wongwichit:
Blackwood:
Only an ace would avoid another massive setback for Wongwichit, yet it was the blank river that shipped the massive double up to Blackwood.
