Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Thomas Cullis and an opponent built a pot of around 6,000 as they went to the turn with the board showing Q♦Q♠J♠6♦. The middle-position player then bet 3,000, and Cullis moved all in for 14,000 from early position. His opponent called.
Cullis showed A♥K♥ for a straight draw, while his opponent had 9♠9♥. Cullis needed to improve to stay alive, and he spiked the A♣ on the river to make two pair and double up.
