Dempsey More Than Doubles

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Serdar Demircan raised to 2,000 from the cutoff and was called by Ondrej Jakubcik in the small blind. Shane Dempsey three-bet to 8,000 from the big blind and both Demircan and Jakubcik made the call.

The flop came {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, Jakubcik checked, Dempsey continued with a bet of 8,000. Demircan shoved for 22,800 and Jakubcik considered his options before deciding to shove with the biggest stack. Dempsey looked at his cards once more before deciding to call for the 25,400 he had in front of him to see all the cards go on their backs.

Serdar Demircan: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Shane Dempsey: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Ondrej Jakubcik: {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Demircan held a pair of sevens, Dempsey had the overpair with the jacks, and Jakubcik had flopped top pair with the eights.

"Hold... hold... hold!" Dempsey was saying over and over while the {9-Diamonds} and the {q-Spades} were dealt to complete the board. Dempsey held on to his lead indeed to eliminate Demircan and get a full double through Jakubcik.
