Huynh Makes the Right Call to Double Up
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Sonia Shashikhina raised to 160,000 under the gun with A♣7♣ and only Julie Huynh was interested and called on the button with A♥J♣.
The flop showed 5♣5♠10♦ and both checked to see the J♥ on the turn, giving two pair to Huynh. Shashikhina bet 240,000 this time and Huynh made the call.
The 3♥ completed the board and Shashikhina checked. Huynh opeted to bet 400,000 and after some thinking, Shashikhina tossed a pile of 100,000-chip in front of her, putting Huynh at risk for her last 660,000.
Huynh didn't take long to call and took down the pot to double up.
