"The Maven" Binks an Early Double
Level 2
: 100/200, 0 ante
"I got a fun one for ya," David "The Maven" Gutfreund told us during a round of the tables, and he shared with us a hand that led to the elimination of the player to his right.
The eliminated player raised to 300 from under the gun, and was called by Gutfreund next to act, as well as Kenneth Brunette in the small blind and Joseph Melby in the big blind.
Action checked to the under-the-gun player on a 
flop, and he bet 700. Gutfreund raised to 2,000, and after the blinds folded, the under-the-gun player jammed, and Gutfreund called.
Opponent: 
David Gutfreund: 
Gutfreund's aces held for the knockout after a blank turn and river, and Gutfreund sits with a strong stack an hour into Day 1c.
