Crawford Sends a Player to the Rail
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Action was picked up before the flop with 8,300 in the pot.
The flop came 5?10?2? and a player from middle position bet 6,000, when James Crawford in the hijack raised to 20,000. Alvin Anton folded on the button, and the player in middle position three-bet all in for 24,500. Crawford quickly called to put the player at risk.
Middle Position: A?K? 
James Crawford: Q?10?
Crawford was ahead with is pair of tens but would need to fade a club or the two over cards of his opponent. The board ran out J? on the turn, and 3? on the river. Crawford still had the best hand with his pair of tens, and the player in middle position was eliminated.
