Cory Albertson Doubles Up

Cory Albertson opened for a raise and got one called. The flop was {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {9-Diamonds}. Albertson bet 4,000, his opponent raised to 14,000 and Albertson called. The turn was the {5-Hearts}. Albertson checked, only to face a 20,000 bet and promptly moved all in over the top. His opponent called.

Albertson had flopped a set with {9-Clubs} {9-Spades} while his opponent was looking for a miracle with {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}. The river was the {10-Spades} and Albertson doubled up, increasing his stack to 190,000.
