McEwen Finds the Correct Call to Double Up
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Action folded to the small blind LaShun Wallace who raised to 13,000, and the big blind Preston McEwen called to see a flop.
Both players checked after the 5?10?7? flop, to see the 10? on the turn. Wallace then moved all in for McEwen's stack of 35,000, and after a quick thought, McEwen found the call to put himself at risk.
Preston McEwen: 7?6? 
LaShun Wallace: K?5?
McEwen had the best of it with the better two pair, and once the river brought the J? his two pair, tens and sevens were still best, giving him the double up.
