: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Michael Penrose caught up with PokerNews to explain how he doubled up to nearly reach the 100,000 chip mark.
According to Penrose, the under-the-gun player raised to 2,500, the player on the button called, and he raised to 10,000 in the big blind. Under the gun then moved all in for about 68,000 total, the button folded, and he called off his remaining stack of about 38,000 to put himself at risk.
