Backlund Doubles Through Le

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

We came over to Nam Le's table to get a count on him just as he was in a big hand with Erik Backlund. Le opened with a preflop raise that Backlund reraised all in. Le called with pocket tens and was well behind Backlund's pocket queens. The flop came {A-?}

{A-?}

{K-?}

{10-?}

to give Le a set and the lead, but the river {j-?}

{j-?}

give Backlund a straight that was the boss hand after the river blanked.

Backlund is now on 47,000 chips. Le is down to 33,000.
