Docherty Doubles Through Big Stack Lesniewski
Level 29
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Action folded around to Marcin Lesniewski, who raised to 250,000 from the small blind. David Docherty called in the big blind.
The flop came 2?J?K?. Lesniewski bet 200,000, which Docherty called. The turn was the A?. Lesniewski bet out 600,000 and Docherty again made the call.
The river was the 9? and Lesniewski pushed all in. Docherty started talking himself through the hand, which is becoming a bit of a signature for him when he has a tough spot. He decided to make the call for his remaining 2,440,000 chips.
Lesniewski showed A?Q? for a pair of aces. Docherty showed A?J? for two pair, aces and jacks. He doubled up and brought himself back into contention.
