O'Neill Doubles Through Onwuka

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Nicolas Sievers raised to 6,000 from middle position before Richard O'Neill put in his 32,000-chip stack from the hijack.

Francis Onwuka asked for a count and made the call, after which Sievers got out of the way to create a heads up showdown.

Richard O'Neill: 9?9?
Francis Onwuka: 7?7?

O'Neill's nines remained best on the J?2?10? flop, and he upgraded to a set on the 9? turn. Onwuka turned a flush draw, however, but it was faded when the 10? river saw O'Neill make a full house.

He doubled up, causing Onwuka's descent to keep going.
