Don't Doubt Doughty (1A)
17 players remain in Flight A of the $100k GTD Bounty Roundup. Ten players will finish in the money tonight and six players will bag up for Day Two. Trevor Doughty hopes to be one of those lucky few.
With blinds at 2,000/4,000/4,000, Doughty opened to 8,000 UTG. Action folded to Joseph Juma's hijack and he went all-in for 56,500. Brian Richardson jammed from the big blind with a covering stack and Doughty didn't like the spot. Ultimately, Doughty made the call and tabled pocket eights.
Cards on their backs
Doughty: 8♣8♥
Richardson: A♣Q♦
Juma: A♥K♥
Board: 9♥9♣8♦J♦5♣
Not that Doughty needed the help against the high cards of his opponents, but flopping a full house is always nice. Juma and Richardson went from drawing thin to drawing dead on the turn. Juma was eliminated.
Doughty: +150,500
Richardson: -92,000
Juma: BUSTED
