This is a pretty big pass for money. White is not without chances, but her timing is too poor for her to take.
ATS it's a different story. Blue can't get gammoned, but doubling reduces Blue's gammon value, and White has significant recube vig. The rollout says it's a close take.
What's less obvious to me is the doubling decision. According to the rollout it's a big double. Doubling is often wrong at 3a6a when the leader has significant gammon chances, as here, since as already mentioned, doubling reduces Blue's gammon value. However, since the take is close, there are a lot of market losers. For Blue not to have a double, he basically has to be TG, and there are too many losses and not enough gammons for Blue to be TG.
