Leathem Doubles With Side Cards
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
under the gun, Andrew Leathem shoved in his stack of 490,000 on a turn of J♠8♠5♦6♥ for a roughly pot-sized bet. "Tony" sat in the small blind and made the call after some thinking time.
Andrew Leathem: A♠A♦9♣7♥ 
"Tony": Q♠J♦J♣4♣
"Tony" needed the board to pair, but the Q♣ river did not do so as Leathem doubled up with his straight.
"I didn't expect to win with seven-nine", Leathem commented as he neatly stacked his newly acquired chips.
