Hettick Holds to Double
Melinda Hettick opened the action preflop with a limp from early position. This was followed by a raise to 1,500 from the next seat over before an opponent from the cutoff chose to increase the price of admission with a re-raise to 3,500. Hettick and the next seat over made the call to keep the pot three-handed.
It was checked to the cutoff on the 6♥Q♠A♠ flop before the cutoff put out a bet of 3,500. Hettick made the call before her opponent to her left responded with a check-raise to 15,000. The cutoff folded before Hettick went into the tank. Hettick eventually committed her stack, going all-in for less at 12,100 to be at risk for her tournament life.
Melinda Hettick: A♦J♥
Opponent: K♠J♠
Hettick had the best hand, but she was up against a big draw as her opponent held a flush and straight draw.
Hettick faded all of the pitfalls as the 5♥ turn and the 6♦ river peeled off to award Hettick the double-up.
