Connelly Finds a Double Through Saeman, Eliminates Theodore

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

There was three-way action that saw a {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop.

Kevin Theodore moved all in for his remaining 5,500 from the big blind and Jerold Saeman called from early position.

Action was on Jacob Connelly who jammed over the top for 33,400 and was called by Saeman.

Jerold Saeman: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Jacob Connelly: {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Kevin Theodore: {j-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Saeman was ahead with his pocket tens but Connelly held the nut flush draw along with a pair of sixes, while Theodore had a gutshot with an overcard.

Connelly didn't get his flush but the turn gave him trips with the {6-Diamonds} and he would double up after the {k-Spades} fell on the river eliminating Theodore.
