Hedley in the Lead after Eliminating Doherty
Level 14
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ian Gascoigne opened for 11,000 from early position and Seamus Doherty came along from the button. Andrew Hedley then three-bet to 44,000, which only Doherty called.
The flop came 4♥7♠10♦. Hedley put 55,000 chips in the middle, exactly enough to put Doherty all-in. Doherty did not like the situation but put in his chips anyway, claiming that he had "nothing."
Seamus Doherty: K♣Q♠
Andrew Hedley: A♠Q♦
Both players did not have anything yet as it turned out, but Hedley had the superior high-card hand. The 7♣ turn did nothing for either player, while the Q♣ river saw them both hit two pair.
Hedley's kicker still played, resulting in the elimination of Doherty, who was sent to the exit in the penultimate level of Day 1c.
