Reed Happy to Stick Around
Level 20
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mark Reed was already all in from the hijack as cutoff Martin Donoghue and Pablo Rojas in middle position went to the flop with around 120,000 in the middle.
The flop came 7♦2♥A♥ and Donoghue bet 25,000, forcing Rojas from the pot.
Mark Reed: A♦9♦
Martin Donoghue: A♠8♠
Both players had flopped an ace, but Reed was ahead with his nine-kicker as the Q♣5♥ completed the board.
Reed raised both his arms in the air as secured the double up. "Only one nine left," Rojas said.
"Look at how happy he is," Donoghue added.
