Coleman's Aces Hold for the Double
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
James Rivers raised before George Coleman jammed his remaining 42,000 in the middle on the button. The action quickly folded back to Rivers, who tossed in a call.
George Coleman: A♣A♠
James Rivers: J♣J♠
The flop of 10♣9♥8♣ was a sweat for Coleman as Rivers had picked up an open-ended straight draw. The 3♥ turn and 8♠ river were safe for Coleman though as his aces held for the double-up.
