Affleck Denied the Double-Up
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
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♥
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.
