Backa Doubles Up
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Action folded to a player in the cutoff and he raised to 400. John Dolan was in the small blind and three-bet to 1,350. Marsel Backa was in the big blind and four-bet to 2,750. The original raiser folded and Dolan moved all in. Backa snap-called with 7,825 total and tabled 
. Dolan showed 
and had Backa covered by 1,750.
The board ran out 
and was no help to Dolan who is now very short stacked and needing to make a big comeback.
