Daniels Gets a Massive Double Through Forrest
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Filippos Stavrakis limped in from middle position and William Forrest limped behind from the hijack. Shane Daniels three-bet to 55,000 and only Forrest called.
The flop came 2♥6♣4♣ and Forrest checked. Daniels bet 50,000, Forrest check-raised to 295,000 and Daniels shoved for 338,000. Forrest called with a covering stack to put Daniels at risk.
Shane Daniels: A♦10♣5♠3♣
William Forrest: A♠Q♣3♦2♣
Both players had the nut-low. Daniels had a six-high straight for the high while Forrest had bottom pair and a flush draw. The 3♠ turn counterfeited Forrest's low and the 9♠ river was a brick. Daniel was good for both halves at showdown with an ace-five low and six-high straight to scoop a colossal pot at Forrest's expense.
