Pocket Rockets Propel Chang to a Double
Level 21
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Action folded to Brian Sneed in the cutoff and he opened for 26,000. The button got out of the way and Matthew Chang, who has been playing patiently all day, three-bet all in for 81,000. The big blind got out of the way and Sneed, who had a big stack, made a hesitant call.
Showdown
| Sneed |   |
| Chang |   |
Despite being ahead, Chang didn't seem too confident. The 
flop seemed safe enough, but the 
turn did give Sneed a pair of jacks. "Five," Chang pleaded headed to the river. The 
wasn't a five, but it was safe enough. Chang doubled on the hand to 179,000, which is still well shy of the 355K average. Sneed dropped to 460,000 on the hand.
