Bathan Spikes the River to Double
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
A player in the cutoff bet 30,000 on a flop of J♥10♣2♣, Ernesto Bathan moved all in for 137,000 in the big blind, and his opponent called.
Ernesto Bathan: Q♣J♣
Opponent: A♣A♥
"You got a monster, dude," Bathan's opponent said going to the turn, which came the 9♥ to give Bathan even more outs with a straight draw. The river was the 7♣, and Bathan spiked a flush to crack his opponent's aces and earn the double up.
"What were you worried about?" his opponent said as he handed over the big pot.
