Strawberries All-In for Heaps

Level 10 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

A massive pot was brewing between Patrick Camilleri and Anish Kumar.

On a board of {3-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}, Kumar went deep into the tank after Camilleri had shoved all-in for just over 300,000.
Kumar eventually made the call and turned over {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} for the flopped set, which was too good for the turned set of Camilleri's.

The {k-Diamonds} on the river was not the case ten that was needed by Camilleri, and the word, "Rebuy" rang out through the room.

With that pot, Kumar, who was already one of the chip leaders, increased his stack to around 800,000.

Kumar from UTG raised to 7,500, play folded around to Noel Jaber in the small blind who called. Morten Mortensen in the big blind then 3-bet to 35,000, Kumar called and Jaber got out of the way to let the bigger stacks fight it out.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{j-Hearts}, and Kumar put out a bet of 41,000. After thinking about it for a short time, Mortensen released his cards into the muck and Kumar pulled in the pot.
