Haim Gets Much-Needed Double Up
Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
The blinds and antes are taking a toll on short stacks, and players on the short stack are picking spots to go all in with hopes of doubling up.
Count Allyson Haim among the group, and she moved all in for final 141,000 in late position. Haim, though, didn’t look comfortable in her chair when the player on the cutoff asked for a count, and then made the call. The remaining players got out of the way and the cards were tabled.
Allyson Haim: A♠2♦
Opponent: 8♦8♥
The dealer ran out K♥A♣K♣ on the flop, giving Haim the lead. The 3♥ appeared on the turn, and then A♥ on the river gave Haim the full house and a double up.
