An Early Double for Magnus

Level 2
: 100/100, 100 ante

A player limped from early position and Ben Keeline responded with a raise to 300 from the cutoff. The players on the button and small blind both called before Nadya Magnus three-bet to 1,600 from the button. The early-position limper then woke up with a check-raise to 6,800 and action folded back to Magnus, who just called.
On the flop, Magnus checked and her opponent bet 10,000. Magnus then sprung to life with a check-raise of her own, making it 21,000 to go, and she called when her opponent moved all in for just a bit more.
Nadya Magnus:
Opponent:
Both players held overpairs but the aces of Magnus were best. Neither the turn nor
river harmed Magnus and she doubled to 60K.
