Menhinick Freerolls to a Double
A player opened to 6,500 from early position and was called by a player one seat over as well as Lane Menhinick in middle position.
The early position player promptly moved all in for around 45,000 following the 2♦9♦A♠ flop, forcing one of his opponents out of the hand but not Menhinick, who called off with the effective stack.
Lane Menhinick: A♦K♣
Early Position Player: A♣K♦
Though at risk, Menhinick could not be eliminated and was freerolling holding the superior diamond. The J♦ turn provided a significant sweat for the early position player, needing to fade a diamond to chop the pot. The backdoor draw did in fact come in after the 7♦ river improved Menhinick to the ace-high flush to hand him more than a full double while leaving the initial raiser with crumbs and a dejected visage.
