Rainey Doubles Up Early in the Tournament
Level 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
The under-the-gun position player raised to 300 with two players having made a quick call. The big blind raised to 2,000 with only Lester Rainey having called from the middle position.
The flop came J♠5♠9♦ as the big blind led out for 1,700. Rainey made a quick call.
With the 7♦ on the turn, the big blind fired for 7,200 with Rainey again opting to call.
The river was the 7♣ as the big blind jammed all in for about 18,000. Rainey took some time before he made the call and showed 8♣10♣. His straight was good as he scooped the pot and sent his opponent to the rail.
