SM Gets a Huge Double
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Over on table eight, a small crowd had gathered on the rail and witnessed a duel between SM and Brett Toker for one of the biggest pots of the day thus far.
The completed board showed 10♠3♥2♠5♠9♦ and Toker faced the shove by SM for 108,000. He eventually paid it off and was shown 3♠3♦ for a set of treys, mucking his Q♥Q♦.
That clash left Toker short with just 45,000 at his disposal. Those went in with the A♥5♠ and Sean Bloom looked him up holding the J♠10♦.
"I folded pocket deuces," Nadav Mazor mentioned in table chat. The 9♥9♦6♣8♠K♦ board missed both players and Toker doubled with his ace.
