Whitney Takes the Chip Lead, Doubles Through Casino

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Elwood Whitney

On an {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} board, Elwood Whitney bet 11,000 into a pot of 16,000 from middle position, and Craig Casino made the call in the cutoff.

The {q-Hearts} fell on the river, and Whitney bet 20,000. Casino thought for a moment before cutting out a raise to 45,000 and placing it in the pot.

"All in," Whitney said immediately, putting his 77,200 stack in the middle. Casino confirmed it was another 32,200 to call, and placed a stack of chips in the pot to call.

Whitney tabled {4-Clubs}{4-Spades} for a set of fours, and Casino's {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for top two pair was second-best, and Casino sent the majority of his stack over to Whitney.
