Weinstein Doubles Thru Dandrea

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ken Weinstein
Ken Weinstein

Ken Weinstein jammed for 51,000 and action folded around to Joseph Dandrea on the button, who called.

Weinstein's {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} needed help against Dandrea's {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} and he got it on the flop of {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, giving him a pair of aces and nut-flush draw.

The {2-Hearts} turn did nothing for either, then the {a-Hearts} on the river improved Weinstein to trips, good for the double-up to nearly 110,000. Dandrea was left with 100,000.
