Jordaan Doubles Up
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
In a pot containing 7,000 chips, three players went to a flop of 4♣7♣2♥. Leon Jordaan checked from the big blind and Cyril Doherty bet 2,000 from under the gun. Sebastian-Ionut Mihai then raised to 5,500, after which Jordaan three-bet jammed in his stack of 25,500.
Doherty pondered for a while before making the fold, but Mihai came out with a quick call to put his opponent at risk.
Leon Jordaan: 4♠4♥
Sebastian-Ionut Mihai: K♣K♦
Jordaan had flopped a set and was a big favorite against the overpair of Mihai. No king came on the 2♣9♠ runout, securing the double-up for Jordaan, who soared back to more than a starting stack.
