Waybright Uses His One Time to Double Up
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Action folded to Jose Waybright on the button, who raised all in for 805,000. After the small blind folded, the big blind Kevin Roche made the call to put Waybright at risk.
Jose Waybright: K♣5♦ 
Kevin Roche: 8♣8♠
Waybright told Roche "You're way ahead" as soon as Roche made the call, and he would need help to best the pocket eights of Roche. The 10♠10♥9♦ gave Waybright some counterfeit outs, but those wouldn't be needed after the K♦ hit the turn to catapult Waybright in front. The A♣ on the river was a safe one, and Waybright had the best hand with his pair of kings to double up.
