Hedley in the Lead after Eliminating Doherty

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ian Gascoigne opened for 11,000 from early position and Seamus Doherty came along from the button. Andrew Hedley then three-bet to 44,000, which only Doherty called.

The flop came 4710. Hedley put 55,000 chips in the middle, exactly enough to put Doherty all-in. Doherty did not like the situation but put in his chips anyway, claiming that he had "nothing."

Seamus Doherty: KQ
Andrew Hedley: AQ

Both players did not have anything yet as it turned out, but Hedley had the superior high-card hand. The 7 turn did nothing for either player, while the Q river saw them both hit two pair.

Hedley's kicker still played, resulting in the elimination of Doherty, who was sent to the exit in the penultimate level of Day 1c.
