Williams Dodges Fortuno to Double
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Cary Williams opened to 85,000 from early position before Robert Fortuno defended his big blind to take them to a flop.
Fortuno checked the 7♣10♠K♣ flop before Williams continued for 60,000. Fortuno opted to check-raise to 225,000, and Williams three-bet all-in for 700,000 total. Fortuno asked for a count, then made the call to put Williams at risk at the final table.
Cary Williams: K♦J♦
Robert Fortuno: A♣8♣
Williams held top pair, but Fortuno was ripe with outs with his flush draw and overcard.
The Q♥ gave both players a straight draw, but Williams was still best.
Williams would secure the double on the 5♦ river as Fortuno took the first big blow at the final table.
