Herrera Doubles
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
The player under-the-gun opened to 2,500 and action folded to Manuel Herrera on the button, who three-bet to 9,000. The blinds folded back to the initial opener, who called.
The flop came 
and it was checked to Herrera, who continued for 6,000. The under-the-gun player then check-raised all in, which was enough to put Herrera all in for his last 30,000. Herrera called and hands were face up.
Manuel Herrera: 
Under-the-gun: 
The 
turn improved Herrera to a straight and the 
river changed nothing — awarding Herrera the full double up.
Herrera, who won Event #4: $500 5-Card PLO High a few days ago, is trying his hand at No-Limit Hold'em today and will be looking to make a deep run.
