Nancy Birnbaum Doubles

Dec 2, 2023

Tyler Patterson opens to 12,000 UTG and a player makes the call behind, but then Nancy Birnbaum moves all in for 60,000. 

Patterson quickly gets out of the way but the other player makes the call to put her at risk and tables Heart KHeart Q.

Birnbaum then tables Club ADiamond J for the lead with ace-high but the flop of Spade QClub 4Spade 10 puts her opponent in front with his queen. 

This does not last long, however, as the turn brings in the Spade K to improve him to two-pair, but that gives Birnbaum a Broadway straight. She can now only lose to a king or queen, but the river is a safe Heart 3 and she is awarded the pot for the double. 

Nancy Birnbaum – 135,000 (27 bb)
Tyler Patterson – 118,000 (23 bb)
