Alt Doubles Through Docherty

Richard Hayes

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jorge Pardo opened to 3,500 and was called by David Docherty.

Action folded to Dinesh Alt in the big blind, who produced an all-in three-bet of 28,500. Pardo folded and Docherty called, to put Alt at risk.

Dinesh Alt: A♣K♦
David Docherty: 8♣8♠

Docherty was ahead in a race with his pair of eights, but was soon behind after the J♥A♥5♣ flop gave Alt a pair of aces.

Nothing changed on the 9♦3♣ turn and river, giving Alt the double-up.
