Liedtke Doubles
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Mark Liedtke raised to 21,000 on the button, and Dong Chen reraised from the big blind. Liedtke had 31,000 in total and quickly called.
Mark Liedtke: A♦J♠9♠4♣
Dong Chen: K♣K♥Q♣10♣
"You have kings!?" Liedtke said, "Well, I can beat that, I'm sure."
The flop of 4♦3♣2♥ gave Liedtke a pair and a straight draw, but he was still behind to the pair of kings. The 7♠ turn was no help, but the J♣ river improved him to two pair, which meant he could stay sitting in his chair a little longer.
