Hasnip Makes a Tough Call and Doubles Up
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
A player raised to 7,000 from early position, and it folded to the small blind Rich Hasnip who three-bet to 22,000. Once the big blind folded, the original raiser made the call to see a flop.
After the K?8?9? flop the early position player called a bet of 16,000 from Hasnip.
Once the 6? hit, Hasnip checked to his opponent, who bet all in for Hasnip's stack of 51,000. After giving it some thought, he made the call to put himself at risk.
Rich Hasnip: Q?Q? 
Early Position: J?10?
Hasnip correctly called with his pocket queens, but would have to fade the open ended straight draw of his opponent. But once the river brought the 5? the pockets queens were still best to give Hasnip the double up.
