Robert Webb Doubles Up

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Robert Webb moved all in from middle position for approximately 500,000 and the big blind called to put Webb at risk. The big blind tabled {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and Webb turned over {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Webb was a significant underdog and needed help in order to double up.

The {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop was exactly what he was looking for, and neither the {7-Spades} turn nor {9-Diamonds} river was any help to his opponent, and Webb doubled up with his pair of eights.
