Thai Doubles Up
Level 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Picking up the action on a flop of 
Minh Thai in early position was involved in a pot with the big blind and a late position player. The big blind led out for 1,000 and was called by Thai. The late position player responded by raising to 4,500, enough to force the big blind out of the hand but not Thai, who made the call.
Thai checked after the 
turn and was met by a bet of 10,000 from the late position player. After some thought Thai moved all in for around 36,000. The late position player thought long and hard before deciding on a call with the covering stack to put Thai at risk.
Minh Thai: 
Late Position Player: 
Thai was in good shape to double up with his superior kicker and did just that after the 
completed the board.
