Cornelius Doubles Through Paxton
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Doug Paxton raised to 32,000 from under the gun only to see RunGood Poker Series Ambassador Julie Cornelius three-bet jammed from his direct left. Action folded back around to Paxton who quickly called to send both players to a runout with Cunningham at risk.
Julie Cornelius: A♦Q♥
Doug Paxton: A♥K♠
Paxton, who stated that he was on a heater, was in a strong position to send Cornelius to the rail, but when the flop came 6♦8♦2♦, Cornelius picked up a lot of outs to take the pot away and secure a double.
When the turn brought the 7♦, Cornelius made the nut flush and left Paxton drawing dead headed to the inconsequential 8♣, officially putting an end to Paxton's heater.
