Hand #59-- Doug Middleton Doubles through Justin Wald

[user37786]

Slaubaugh raised to 77,000 and Middleton moved all in for 150,000. Justin Wald then announced he was all in, and Slaubaugh took off his sunglasses and gave it some thought before folding.

Middleton held {A-Clubs}

to Wald's

and when the flop came {A-Diamonds}

, giving Doug top pair and Justin a gutshot draw. The turn was the {9-Clubs}

, the river the {5-Spades}

, and Doug doubled up.

Judging from Slaubaugh's reaction and some comments after the hand, had Wald not moved all in Cody would have called and had Middleton's ace dominated.

Hougaard raised to 78,000 and scooped the pot.
