Defending Champ Doubles
Defending champion John Cynn was overheard talking to another person presumably about his stack of just north of 20,000, saying that it was in his wheelhouse and that he was in his comfort zone.
He saw action fold to him in middle position and dictated, "watch this!" before reaching for chips. The energy was palpable as the table anticipated an all-in shove until he threw forward chips to open to 3,500.
"Wait, what?" Cynn commentated on his own action. "Just a raise?"
Action then folded to the big blind, who defended to take subsequent action to the streets. The flop came 
and the big blind checked. Cynn made a continuation-bet of 5,500 and the big blind looked back at Cynn and asked if he had any green, T$25,000 chips. Cynn confirmed he did not and his opponent put in a raise large enough to put Cynn all in.
Cynn happily complied, putting the rest of his chips in and turning over 
for an overpair.
His opponent tabled 
and found himself well behind with top pair.
The turn and river fell 
, securing the double up for Cynn who now finds himself with some breathing room despite still being below starting stack.
