Third Time's a Charm for Calingasan

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Audible noise was overheard coming from Table 29 as PokerStars Ambassador Fatima Moreira De Melo and tablemate Bhavin Khatri were excitable about an all-in preflop situation between Carlo Calingasan in early position and Dominik Locher, who was in the big blind.

According to the table, Calingasan had found a massive pocket pair for the third time in one orbit. He had already seen both aces and kings get cracked within the last few hands, and was now at risk for his tournament life with the former of the aforementioned hands against the latter.

Carlo Calingasan: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Dominik Locher: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Khatri was still excited for Calingasan, hoping that the runout would not make three of three situations in which his overpair was cracked. Excitement remained as the board ran out {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, and much of the table rejoiced in Calingasan's favor.

"How can you be so lucky?!" said Khatri.

"What, that he lost with aces and kings before he doubled up?" asked Moreira De Melo in sarcastic fashion.

More laughter ensued, with Locher joining in despite having lost the hand in unavoidable fashion.
