button in SafariWilke Triples Up
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Dennis Wilke moved all in for 17,700 from the cutoff, the button reshoved for 50,000, and Terry Jordon, who had once again raised blind under the gun, called to put both opponents at risk.
Dennis Wilke: J♦8♦ 
Button: A♥10♣
Terry Jordon: A♣K♥
Jordon had woken up with another monster playing blind and was poised for the double knockout. The flop came 9♦9♥6♦, while Wilke hit two pair on the J♥ turn to take the lead. The river was the 8♠ and he tripled up, while Jordon took the side pot to send the button to the rail.
"I didn't lose anything, so it's okay," Jordon said.
