Huge Double-Up for Cortes
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Three players went to a flop for 8,000 apiece and the dealer fanned the 
across the board. Gerard Cortes led out with a bet of 5,400 and the button raised to 15,000. The action was back on Cortes who jammed all in for 70,800. His opponent asked for a count and then called to put Cortes at risk.

It was looking promising for Cortes who flopped a set of threes but the 
on the turn made things interesting. However, the 
on the river was a brick and Cortes breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's more fun this way," Ian Simpson laughed on his left.
