Hedley in the Lead after Eliminating Doherty
Level 14
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ian Gascoigne opened for 11,000 from early position and Seamus Doherty came along from the button. Andrew Hedley then three-bet to 44,000, which only Doherty called.
The flop came 4?7?10?. Hedley put 55,000 chips in the middle, exactly enough to put Doherty all-in. Doherty did not like the situation but put in his chips anyway, claiming that he had "nothing."
Seamus Doherty: K?Q?
Andrew Hedley: A?Q?
Both players did not have anything yet as it turned out, but Hedley had the superior high-card hand. The 7? turn did nothing for either player, while the Q? river saw them both hit two pair.
Hedley's kicker still played, resulting in the elimination of Doherty, who was sent to the exit in the penultimate level of Day 1c.
