Fawcett Got Help On The River to Earn The Double
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Scott Fawcett opened in early position to 2,500 and got callers on the button and from the big blind.
Off to a flop of 2?6?5? and Fawcett continued for 4,000.
Without much thought, the button player put in the raise to 11,000. The big blind got out of the way and Fawcett went all in for his remaining chips.
The player on the button called and the cards went on their backs.
Scott Fawcett A?A?
Button Player 9?7?
The 6? turn paired the board but gave the button player a flush with a redraw to the straight flush. Fawcett was headed to the river drawing very slim.
There was magic on the river as the dealer burned and turned the A? to give Fawcett top boat and a full double.
