Folger Finds a Crucial Double
Level 13
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Action folded to Michael Watkins on the button, and he raised to 6,000. The small blind Michael Robinson called, before Benjiman Folger in the small blind three-bet all in for 50,500. Watkins thought about his decision for about a minute before deciding to make the call. Robinson let his hand go to leave the two players heads up, with Folger at risk.
Benjiman Folger: A♣9♥ 
Michael Watkins: A♠6♠
Folger had Watkins dominated, and after the board ran out 5♣Q♣Q♥10♣8♠ Folger's ace nine was still best, to give him a double up.
