Hoa'd of Thought It

Carl Hostrup made a raise to 2,200 from late position and Hoa Ngo defended his big blind by making the call.

The flop came {J-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {K-Spades} and Ngo called Hostrup's 3,500 continuation bet before the turn came {9-Spades}. Ngo checked once more and was to face an all-in bet, this time totaling 13,900.

He sat there and thought for a long while, but it was no Hollywood as he made the call for most of his stack with {K-Hearts} {10-Spades}. It was a good call too as he had Hostrup's {K-Clubs} {8-Spades} out-kicked.

The river came {10-Hearts} !!! It made two pair for Ngo but made the straight for Hostrup, doubling him up once more, this time to 42,000.
