Falcon Fills Up in Massive Flip

Beniamin Luca raised to 7,500 in early position and James Hawkins, who had only just joined the table on a new bullet, called in the hijack. Michael Falcon then three-bet to 22,500 in the small blind. "I know you're going to call," Falcon said to Hawkins.

It was Luca, though, who shoved all in for 115,000. Hawkins quickly folded, but Falcon called to put Luca at risk.

Beniamin Luca: A♦Q♥ All in
Michael Falcon: J♥J♠

Luca's hopes were quickly dashed when the flop came J♦6♥4♥ to give Falcon top set. He improved to a full house on the 4♣ turn, while the 6♠ river was a mere formality as Falcon took the massive pot, sending his stack over 500,000.

"I bought a ticket for tomorrow. They're making me play today. Now I have to double up," Hawkins said.
