Roberts Holds to Double Up
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
After two players limped, the small blind completed, and Jessica Roberts made it 16,000 to go in the big blind. Only middle position called, who was the initial limper.
The flop came 8♥J♣9♣ and Roberts began with a check. Middle position then moved all in for 52,000 to put himself at risk. Roberts took some time to think through her decision, being that she had 54,000 behind. She eventually made the call and was pleased to see that she was ahead.
Middle position: K♦Q♣ 
Jessica Roberts: A♦10♣
The 7♥ on the turn improved Roberts to a straight and only a ten on the river would save her opponent. The 7♦ completed the board and the pot was pushed Roberts' way.
