Balmforth Picks Up Aces But Can't Tempt Dochery
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
David Docherty raised to 55,000 on the button with A♦8♦ and Chris Balmforth called in the big blind.
Docherty hit trips on the J♣8♥8♣ flop and bet 35,000, but Balmforth quickly folded Q♦6♣.
Docherty then picked up A♠K♥ and raised to 55,000 in the cutoff. Paul McAulay called in the big blind, and they checked down the Q♦3♠2♦6♣J♥ board where McAulay took the pot with 10♣2♣.
A few hands later, Docherty again opened to 55,000 in early position and Balmforth picked up A♦A♣ in the cutoff, three-betting to 125,000. Docherty folded A♠7♠.
