Lehner Doubles Through McEwen
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Preston McEwen raised from under the gun to 250,000 and was called in one spot by Stefan Lehner from the big blind.
Lehner checked the Q♥7♥10♦ flop before McEwen put out a bet of 400,000. Lehner called to go all-in for 390,000 to be at risk.
Stefan Lehner: 7♦6♥
Preston McEwen: A♣K♣
McEwen held the overcards and the straight draw, while Lehner had made a pair of sevens and needed to hold.
The 9♣ turn was safe for Lehner, and the 7♠ river upgraded him to trips to score the double.
