Hayes Spikes River to Double
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
The hand began with a limp from early position before an early position player raised to 2,200.
The small blind called before Billy Hayes of No Limit Pub Poker Tour chose to raise the price of admission to 7,200. The limper folded, but the early position raiser called, and the small blind folded.
Both players checked the 6♦5♣K♣ flop to bring the 4♣ turn. Hayes chose to bet 10,000 and faced an all-in for 24,300 from his opponent. Hayes called to put his opponent at risk.
Opponent: Q♣J♣
Billy Hayes: A♣A♥
Hayes was in trouble as his opponent turned a flush, but the river was his saviour as it came the 6♣ to give Hayes a higher flush.
