Doebs Comeback Denied by Blebea

Ryan Lashmar

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

A player from under the gun opened to 60,000 and John Doebs moved all in for 170,000 from the cutoff. His opponent called with a covering stack to put him at risk.

John Doebs: 5?5? All in
Opponent: Q?J?

Doebs held with the pocket fives on the A?K?4?8?3? runout to secure a full double up.

A couple hands later, Iulian-Remus Blebea opened to 60,000 from middle position. John Doebs shoved for 415,000 from the next seat over and Blebea called to put Doebs at risk again.

John Doebs: A?K? All in
Iulian-Remus Blebea: 9?9?

This time Doebs could not pull ahead on the 7?4?8?4?6? runout and was sent to the rail courtesy of Blebea who collected the last of his chips.
