Hostrup Trebles Up

No Gray skies for Jason
No Gray skies for Jason
"Yes!" screamed a crazed Carl Hostrup as his river demands were met. "I've trebled up!" he bragged to the neighboring table who mimicked his celebrations with a unison of "yes" chants.

And indeed the Dane had trebled through, his {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} managing to uncoil the {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} of Jason Gray and the {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} of Jim Buckley on a dramatic {8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{A-Clubs} board.

Whilst Gray lost the battle, he won the war, perhaps taking a slightly larger pot from the departing Buckley. As a result, Hostrup is on 30,000 and Gray is still doing swimmingly with 80,000.
