Docherty Doubles as Field Reaches Final Four Tables

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
David Docherty

Michel Molenaar opened from under the gun to 120,000. David Docherty, who started Day 2 as chip leader, was on the button and moved in for his last 585,000. Molenaar asked for an exact count, thought for a bit, and made the call, putting Docherty at risk.

David Docherty: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Michel Molenaar: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}

The {6-Clubs} window card seemed to spell disaster for Docherty, but the flop completed with the {5-Clubs} and {10-Clubs}, solidifying his lead. ''I'll take a chop'', Molenaar said, but not chop came with the {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} runout.

Docherty did not get a chance to stack his newly acquired chips, as the floor swept in to break the table as the final four tables had been reached.
