Bouquet Comes from Behind to Double
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Thomas Mjeldheim raised to 2,500 in early position, which Jose Manuel Nadal Sordo called one seat to his left. When the action folded to Rui Bouquet in the big blind, he moved all-in for 32,900. Mjeldheim called, and Sordo folded.
Rui Bouquet: A♠K♥
Thomas Mjeldheim: A♦Q♠
Once Mjeldheim saw the J♦3♠2♠ flop, he prepared to pay Bouquet his double-up. However, he slowed down when the Q♥ turn saw him take the lead.
Alas, his joy lasted just one street, as the 10♠ river improved Bouquet to a Broadway straight, seeing him double up the hard way.
