Boyle Doubles; Blue Stays Alive
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Timothy Blue limped in early position and John Boyle moved all in on the button for 51,500 to put himself at risk. Blue thought for a moment before making the call.
John Boyle: A♦Q♥ 
Timothy Blue: Q♦10♠
The flop came Q♦3♦7♥ with Boyle still out in the lead. He improved to two pair on the A♣ turn and the meaningless 9♥ landed on the river to secure him the double up.
The next hand, Blue got it all in preflop from under the gun for his remaining 26,500 against Tyler Caspers in the small blind who had the covering stack.
Timothy Blue: A♣4♥
Tyler Caspers: 8♣8♦
Blue pulled ahead on the A♥9♣5♣ flop, pairing his ace. The 3♥ turn and 10♠ river offered no help to Caspers and the pot was pushed Blue's way.
