Doan Doing Work

From under the gun, Greg Raymer comes in limping, as does Thuy Doan in late position. The player to her left puts in a raise, making it 500 to play. Both Raymer and Doan call.

The flop rolls out {3-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}. Action checks to the raiser, and he continues out with a bet of 800. Raymer ducks out, but Doan slips on her sunglasses and decides to put in a check-raise, making it 2,400 total. Her opponent studies for a minute or two before making the call.

The turn brings the {2-Diamonds}. Both players check.

The river is the {4-Spades}. Doan grabs three yellow T1000 chips and makes a bet of 3,000. Without hesitation, her opponent puts in the call. Doan flips over {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} -- the stone cold nuts. She drags in a pot worth nearly 13,000 chips, and has moved up over 16,000.
