Spencer Doubles Through Moraes as Bubble Approaches
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Rafael Moraes raised from under the gun and Lewis Spencer called in the big blind.
The flop came 4♥5♠Q♥. Spencer checked and Moraes bet 16,000, which Spencer called. The turn was the 7♥. Spencer checked again and Moraes bet 50,000, which Spencer once again called.
The river came the 9♥. Spencer checked and Moraes moved all in for 118,000 effective. Spencer threw all of his time bank cards into the middle and used every last one before making the call.
Moraes had A♠8♠ for a bluff and Spencer had K♥6♥ for a king-high flush. He'd used his time banks to avoid a potential bubble, but in the end he won the pot and doubled his stack.
