Brett Jungblut Gets Ganked

With the cutoff and big blind both into the pot for a limp, Brett "Gank" Jungblut raised all in for his last 275 from the small blind. The big blind and the original limpers called, and Gank had to dodge four players to stay alive.

The flop came down {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}, and everyone folded when the cutoff bet out. The hands were turned over, with the cutoff holding {A-?} {K-?} {Q-?} {10-?}, and Jungblut at risk with {5-Clubs} {5-Spades} {9-Hearts} {8-Spades}. In his best Jim Carrey voice, Gank let out a, "So you're telling me there's a chance..."

More than a chance, in fact. The turn and river came {8-Clubs}, {9-Spades}, giving Gank a full house, and quadrupling him up to 1,100.

Unfortunately for him, he was eliminated just a few hands later.
