Bakota Cracks Queens to Double
Level 18
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Casey Blakeley raised to 40,000 in early position, Andrew Bakota moved all in for 121,000 in middle position, and Blakeley snap-called. "Ouch," Bakota said as they went to turn over their cards.
Andrew Bakota: A♠10♥
Casey Blakeley: Q♦Q♠
Bakota was looking for an ace to stay alive, and he found one on the A♣9♠5♥ flop to take the lead. The rest of the board ran out 9♥J♥, and he doubled up.
