Townsend Survives a Big Flip
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Joe Dornish raised to 3,000 in the hijack and a player on the button called before Charlie Townsend reraised to 13,400 in the small blind. The big blind then reraised to 26,000 and Dornish and the button folded, while Townsend then moved all in for 38,900. The big blind quickly called.
Charlie Townsend: A♦K♥
Opponent: Q♦Q♣
It was a classic flip, and Dornish told Townsend he had folded king-queen. Another opponent said he had an ace, but Townsend still found one on the A♠6♠4♥ flop to take the lead. He improved to two pair on the K♣ turn, while the 8♦ fell on the river to secure his double up.
