Falus Hits the Nuts, Holds For a Massive Double
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Louis Vlamynck bet 1,700 from the hijack on a flop of 10♦9♥Q♠, and Daniel Falus called in the cutoff. Jean Surlemont then raised to 5,600 in the big blind, and both opponents called.
The turn was the A♦, and Surlemont checked to Vlamynck, who bet 22,000. Falus then moved all in for 48,600, and Surlemont folded, but Vlamynck quickly called to put Falus at risk.
Falus showed K♥J♥ for the nut straight, while Vlamynck had Q♥Q♦ for a set. Falus needed to avoid the board pairing on the river, and he dodged the 5♣ as he slammed the table in celebration and earned the massive double-up.
