Hasnip Makes a Tough Call and Doubles Up
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
A player raised to 7,000 from early position, and it folded to the small blind Rich Hasnip who three-bet to 22,000. Once the big blind folded, the original raiser made the call to see a flop.
After the K♠8♣9♠ flop the early position player called a bet of 16,000 from Hasnip.
Once the 6♥ hit, Hasnip checked to his opponent, who bet all in for Hasnip's stack of 51,000. After giving it some thought, he made the call to put himself at risk.
Rich Hasnip: Q♥Q♦ 
Early Position: J♣10♣
Hasnip correctly called with his pocket queens, but would have to fade the open ended straight draw of his opponent. But once the river brought the 5♦ the pockets queens were still best to give Hasnip the double up.
