Backa Doubles Up

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Action folded to a player in the cutoff and he raised to 400. John Dolan was in the small blind and three-bet to 1,350. Marsel Backa was in the big blind and four-bet to 2,750. The original raiser folded and Dolan moved all in. Backa snap-called with 7,825 total and tabled {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}. Dolan showed {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and had Backa covered by 1,750.

The board ran out {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} and was no help to Dolan who is now very short stacked and needing to make a big comeback.

Marsel Backa has had a lot of success in tournaments around the United States with five $20K+ wins and over $400,000 in recorded live tournament earnings.
