Roller Coaster for Whalen

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

On a flop of {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Robert Whalen checked out of the big blind and David James bet 60,000 on the button. Whalen check-raised to 150,000 and James moved all in for 288,000 in total. Whalen folded but got his chips back the next hand.

In a limped battle of the blinds, Whalen got it in after the {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}{A-Hearts} turn for 259,000 with {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts} against the {A-}{8-} of Jeff Martin and the {2-Clubs} river was a blank. Martin was left with fewer than six big blinds and doubled up right after.
