Double-Up, Then Level Up

With the action folding around to the button, Nicholas Aly looked down at his cards (although I suspect he may have had his eyes closed) and pushed all in with 7c-4c, only for chip leader Paul Pham to wake up with As-Ts in the small blind and make a speedy call.

The Jd-3s-8s flop dodged everyone, but a 7c turn hit the underdog square in the face to edge him into the lead. A ragtastic 2c river cemented Aly's survival, whilst Pham was forced to endure a rare chink in his otherwise unblemished armour.

A hand or two later, the blinds went up to 15,000/30,000. "The blinds have no gone up and the next person to raise will be get to decide what figure will become the standard raise for this level." Karim Louis was that man, making it 75,000 to go. "Is that a good sized raise?" he inquired. "I can't possibly comment," replied Vicky. "It's not a blind level I'm particularly familiar with."
