Hand #57: Almira Skripchenko Doubles Thru George Rechnitzer

Almira Skripchenko moves all in from the small blind, and George Rechnitzer calls from the big blind with [AcQc]. Skripchenko shows [Kh6s], and since the two players are nearly even in chips, somebody is facing a bustout or a crippled stack.

The board comes [7d7c4cKdQh], and Almira Skripchenko pairs her king on the turn to win the pot and double up in chips — crippling George Rechnitzer in the process.
