Docherty Doubles
Level 13
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Marcus McHale opened to 6,000 under the gun, which a player on his left flat called. When the action folded to David Docherty, he moved all in for 56,000. McHale called, and the second player folded.
David Docherty: 8♠8♣ 
Marcus McHale: A♥J♦
Both players connected with the flop, but crucially, Docherty flopped a set on 8♥J♣Q♦ to take a commanding lead.
The 10♦ offered McHale a new way to win, but the 6♠ river was unforthcoming, and he paid Docherty his double up.
