Weng Finds A Double

Chris Land

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action folded to the button who raised to 50,000 only to see Ahmed Karrim three-bet to 160,000. Bin Weng called off from the big blind for 110,000 and the button folded to send the other two players to a runout with Weng at risk.

Bin Weng: A♣4♠
Ahmed Karrim: K♦7♦

The board ran out 5♦10♥Q♠J♣4♣, which was all safe for Weng as he secured a double through Karrim.
