Pelton Doubles Up

[user123189]

Joe Pelton, the winner of the 2006 WPT Legends of Poker just doubled up through an unknown opponent.

PokerNews caught up with the action on the turn with a board reading {k-Spades} {j-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {q-Clubs} . When action was checked to Pelton, he bet 1,350. His oppoent then raised to 3,050 and Pelton three-bet, putting himself all in. His opponent called and the cards were turned face-up.

Pelton: {q-Clubs} {q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Clubs} {j-Clubs}

Perhaps not fully understanding the position he was in, Pelton's opponent asked the dealer for "a king or a jack." Either way, the {a-Hearts} on the river was enough for Pelton to double up through the hand.
