Open Shove with Rags and Double? No Problem

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Ed Saballa open shoved in middle position for 20,000 and action folded around to Claudio Baptista, who called. Baptista had Saballa covered and held {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}. Saballa turned over {8-Clubs} {4-Clubs} and was at risk for his tournament life.

The board ran {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {9-Spades} {8-Spades} {7-Hearts} and Saballa's rags beat Baptista's big slick and Saballa doubled to 44,000.
