Reese just doubled up


On a flop of 9s 8d 3d, Reese checks and Bloch bets $120,000. Reese moves all in and Bloch makes the call and shows 9 7s for a pair of nines. Reese turns over Kd 6d for a flush draw. The turn is the 5d, giving Reese his flush. The river is the Kc and Chip Reese has doubled up.

Wow. Nice call by Andy. WTF???

[/ QUOTE ]

Getting his money in as the favorite against a likely flush draw with a chance to end the match right there. Tough call, but he made the right read.

Bad call.

[/ QUOTE ]

Bad call as in he could have been facing a flush draw AND two overcards or something better? Or bad call as in: why risk the tournament as only a slight favorite in the hand at that point?

Does he make the call if Chips flips over his cards?

Right, especially if he believes that he's the better NLHE player.
