Hale Doubles the First Hand

Level 26 : Limits 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

Brant Hale raised from the small blind, Gary Benson three-bet from the big blind, and Hale called all-in for 115,000 total.

Hale drew one and Benson two. The same occurred on the second draw.

On the final draw, Hale stood pat and Benson still needed two.

Brant Hale: K874 All in
Gary Benson: 2A

Hale was in good shape with a made king but Benson first peeled the Q for a sweat. However, his last card was the 8, securing the full double for Hale on the first hand of the day.
