Leathem Doubles With Side Cards
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
under the gun, Andrew Leathem shoved in his stack of 490,000 on a turn of J?8?5?6? for a roughly pot-sized bet. "Tony" sat in the small blind and made the call after some thinking time.
Andrew Leathem: A?A?9?7? 
"Tony": Q?J?J?4?
"Tony" needed the board to pair, but the Q? river did not do so as Leathem doubled up with his straight.
"I didn't expect to win with seven-nine", Leathem commented as he neatly stacked his newly acquired chips.
