Coleman Doules Through Ma
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Jasper Ma opened to 60,000 from under the gun and was called by Bobby James in the hijack.
Maxx Coleman came along with a call from the big blind to bring the flop of 8♣8♦5♦. It checked to Ma, who continued for 75,000.
James folded, but Coleman responded with a check-raise all-in for 185,000. Ma called to put Coleman at risk.
Maxx Coleman: Q♦6♦
Jasper Ma: K♣9♣
Coleman had a lot working for him with outs to a pair and a flush draw, while Ma was still best with king high.
The 9♦ turn improved Coleman to a flush, but he was not out of the weeds yet, as Ma had a draw to a full house.
Coleman avoided any disasters on the river when it came 5♥ to secure the double.
