Jason Newburger Doubles Up

Newburger needed a hand to push with, and in pocket eights he found one. Yuval Bronshtein chose to just call with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}, and then Pete Lawson reraised with {A-Spades}{K-Spades}. That gave Bronshtein a decision to make, and he chose to lay his hand down.

With one fewer ace in play, Newburger was in better shape than your usual coin-flip, and the {2-Spades}{J-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{5-Spades} board didn’t improve Lawson’s hand and doubled Newburger to 325K. If Bronshtein had chosen to call, he might’ve won a nice pot and eliminated Newburger…but that’s a pretty big if.
