Normand Scores Huge Double against Kendrick
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
After an open to 65,000 from Cord Garcia, Derek Normand three-bet to 208,000 and then Kevin Kendrick 4-bet jammed for around 1,000,000, covering Normand. Normand thought about it for a few seconds before he made the call to put himself at risk of elimination.
Derek Normand: J♥J♠
Kevin Kendrick: A♦K♠
An ace appeared right in the window, but luckily for Normand, a jack came right behind it on the A♠J♣9♥ flop to give him a huge lead.
The turn 3♠ left Kendrick drawing dead and the Q♦ completed the board to award Normand the huge double.
"Bet your heart sank when you saw that ace," a player commented.
"I had faith," Normand simply replied as he chipped up to 1,600,000.
