Futhey Doubles in the Dark

On a flop of {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {9-Spades}, Wilbur Futhey raised a bet of 600 from his opponent to 3,000. His opponent made the call. After the pot was pulled in, Futhey stuck his last 6,100 into the middle in the dark. His opponent called him in the dark.

The turn card revealed the {6-Hearts} and then both players exposed their cards. Futhey held top two pair with {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} and his opponent held {A-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}.

Futhey needed to dodge his opponent's flush draw in order to double up and did so when the {7-Diamonds} hit the felt.
