Terry Turns His Double Up

From the hijack seat, Todd Terry raised to 500. The cutoff seat called and 2009 EPT Warsaw champion Christophe Benzimra called on the button. Jason Wheeler was in the big blind and three-bet to 2,250. Terry thought for a good minute or so and then called. The cutoff and Benzimra both folded.

The flop came down {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Wheeler fired out 3,500. Terry took his time and broke down his own stack two or three times before moving all in. Wheeler first asked for a count and the all-in bet was worth 17,300. He then asked the dealer to pull in the 3,500s from each player. Once the dealer grabbed the 3,500s, Wheeler saw the amount he needed to call and announced a call.

Terry tabled the {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for an open-ended straight draw, a backdoor flush draw and two overcards while Wheeler had flopped the second nut with the {4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Quite the flop for a squeeze play for Wheeler as he was looking to send Terry to the rail pending the turn and river.

The turn brought the {4-Spades} and nailed Terry with a higher straight. The river then completed the board with the {J-Diamonds} and Terry officially doubled through. He now has over 40,000 in chips.
