Trips Good Two Times for Johnston

[user66118]

No-Limit Hold'em:

Berry Johnston has just doubled up twice to come climbing out of the cellar.

On the first hand, Johnston got all in with {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

against

{7-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

. The board ran out {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{2-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

, making Johnston triple queens and providing him a much-needed double-up to 4,000.

A short time later, Johnston was in the small blind with the action folded around to him. He raised to 575, and the big blind moved all in, having him covered. Johnston called with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

and was racing against {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

. The board came down {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{A-Spades}

{7-Clubs}

{4-Spades}

{J-Spades}

. For the second time in just a few minutes, Johnston doubled up with trips, and he sits now with just over 7,000.
