Hopkin Mounts Comeback After Huge Triple

Level 37 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

After a previous hand that left him with slightly more than a big blind, Sean Hopkin found himself all in preflop against both jade Walker and Gareth Cresswell, who covered.

Sean Hopkin: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Jade Walker: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Gareth Cresswell: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}

Although Walker was way in the lead, the flop of {q-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Hearts} gave Hopkin a set of jacks to take the lead. The runout of {q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} secured his victory for a huge triple to bring him from the brink all the way back to 9,000,000.
