Early Double For Swan

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

With 18,000 in the middle and the board reading {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{k-Clubs} at the turn, Adam Swan moved all-in for 40,000 from the big blind. The small blind looked puzzled with the huge over-bet but decided to make the call.

Adam Swan: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Small Blind: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The small blind was ahead with pocket-jacks but Swan had a plethora of outs with the open-ended straight draw, flush draw and could also pair their queen. In the end it was the {9-Clubs} that was dealt on the river and Swan doubled up, leaving the small blind with only 1,500.

Action was joined on the river, with a pot of around 3,500 and a board reading {9-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

The small blind fired for 3,500. Hengyu Sun raised it up to 7,000. The small blind thought for a minute or two, before reluctantly making the call. Sun showed him {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}, for the Broadway straight. The small blind pushed his cards into the muck, and the pot belonged to Sun.
