Hawkins Misses the River as Bindra Doubles
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
James Hawkins, Mark Buckley, and Jaskirat Singh Bindra built a pot of around 20,000 heading to the turn on a board of Q♠J♣7♦5♣ when Hawkins led out for 5,000 from the small blind.
Buckley called in middle position, then Bindra moved all in for 21,000. Hawkins called while Buckley got out of the way.
Bindra showed A♠J♦ for a pair of jacks and needed to hold up against Hawkins' 8♥6♦ for a straight draw. The 5♦ river was safe for Bindra and he doubled up.
