Laidlaw Doubles Before Break
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Radoslav Stoyanov opened 50,000 in middle position, and Gregory Fournier called on the button before Dan Laidlaw jammed 260,000 into the middle in the small blind. Stoyanov quickly mucked, but Fournier didn't go anywhere dropping in a chip to call.
Dan Laidlaw: A♣J♥
Gregory Fournier: 2♥2♣
It was a flip but the A♦K♣9♥ flop gave Laidlaw the lead with a pair of aces. The 6♦ turn and 9♠ river were safe for him as he collected the double.
