Dougherty Doubles Through Laney

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

After an early-position open to about 900, Scott Dougherty made it 1,700 to go from the cutoff. Herb Laney repopped to 4,000 on the button, and the original raiser folded. Dougherty came back with 5,000 more, and Laney quickly called. After the {8-Spades}{j-Spades}{9-Spades} flop, Dougherty shoved all in, and Laney got a count: 25,775.

"I'll show ya," Dougherty said. "I guarantee I'm ahead."

"Boy, I wish I didn't have such a good hand," Laney responded.

Eventually, he made the call.

Laney: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Dougherty: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Dougherty's guarantee proved correct, and he faded the few outs Laney had as the {8-Diamonds} and {j-Diamonds} harmlessly double-paired the board.
