Whitmore Doubles Up

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

An early position player raised the pot to 600. Richie Whitmore, in middle position, put in his remaining 3,875. Whitmore's {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} dominated his opponent's {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}.

A flop of {8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts} gave his opponent a set to take the lead. The {9-Diamonds} turn and {2-Clubs} river gave Whitmore the winning hand and a much needed double up.
