McEwen Finds the Correct Call to Double Up

Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action folded to the small blind LaShun Wallace who raised to 13,000, and the big blind Preston McEwen called to see a flop.
Both players checked after the 5♥10♥7♠ flop, to see the 10♣ on the turn. Wallace then moved all in for McEwen's stack of 35,000, and after a quick thought, McEwen found the call to put himself at risk.
Preston McEwen: 7♣6♣
LaShun Wallace: K♥5♣
McEwen had the best of it with the better two pair, and once the river brought the J♦ his two pair, tens and sevens were still best, giving him the double up.
