Douglas Dodges the Deck to Bust Leiva
Level 12
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
After an open and several callers, Eric Douglas put in a big three-bet followed by an all-in from Byron Leiva.
The action then folded around to Douglas who made the call, putting Leiva at risk.
Byron Leiva: A♥4♣
Eric Douglas: 6♠6♦
Douglas was sitting pretty comfortably with his pocket pair, but as all poker players know, it's always a sweat as the flop came out 10♣3♥5♦ to give Leiva extra outs to a straight. The turn 9♦ did not do it and the J♣ on the river was a welcome card for Douglas as it meant his sixes held to claim the pot, sending Leiva to the rail.
