Dewald Doubles

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The heads-up action was joined after 2015 WSOP.com Player of the Year Paul Dewald moved all in for 21,600 on the {3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop. His opponent thought for a minute, but eventually called to put Dewald at risk.

Paul Dewald: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Opponent: {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Dewald was ahead with his top pair and a favorite to score the double up, but his opponent had plenty of outs with an open-ended straight draw and backdoor flush draw. The {8-Clubs} turn took away the backdoor flush draw but gave her additional outs to a set or two pair. Luckily, the {5-Diamonds} river was not one of those outs, and he scooped the pot to double his stack.
