Coates Sticking Around

Bernard Lee opened to 1,025 under the gun, and Charles Coates three-bet shoved with his short stack of 4,525. Lee double-checked the amount before calling with {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades}, and Coates was flipping for double or nothing with {K-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}.

The board ran {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {8-Spades}, and Lee tapped the felt and said, "Nice hand, sir."

Coates will take the pot, and he knew what he was doing. "Didn't have much choice," he posed. "Ain't like I wanted to."
