Svanbom Drills River for Double Knockout
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Kristian Svanbom in middle position, Joseph East in the hijack, and Josep Ruiz in the cutoff had each put in 35,000 on the 6♥2♦6♣ flop. The J♥ then fell on the turn, prompting Svanbom to push all in.
He covered both opponents and saw East call off his remaining 80,000 chips. Ruiz went deep into the tank before also committing his stack, putting his 155,000 chips at risk.
Joseph East: 2♠2♥ 
Josep Ruiz: K♦6♦
Kristian Svanbom: 7♠6♠
Svanbom had the worst hand of the three contenders, but it became the best hand when he improved to a full house on the 7♥ river.
East and Ruiz left the table in a stunned state as Svanbom gleefully dragged the massive pot and solidified his position as one of the chipleaders in the room.
