Affleck Denied the Double-Up

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Matt Affleck
Matt Affleck

John Gallenberg raised to 100,000 in middle position and Matt Affleck three-bet to 535,000 in the big blind, leaving himself with just 25,000 back. Gallenberg made the call.

The flop came 7♣10♣9♦, Affleck tossed the rest of his chips into the pot, and Gallenberg quickly called.

Matt Affleck: Q♣Q♥ All in
John Gallenberg: 4♣4♠

Affleck was in great shape to double up, but the 8♦ turn and 6♥ river put a straight on the board, resulting in a chop.
