Serock Goes Runner-Runner to Crack Kings With 3% Flop Equity
Level 5
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Joe Serock may have only had 3% equity on the flop in a hand that put him at risk, but that didn't stop him from doubling up thanks to a lucky runout.
Serock was all in with a short stack against Jim Collopy to his right.
Joe Serock: Q♣10♣
Jim Collopy: K♣K♦
The flop landed 3♥5♦8♠ to provide absolutely no help to Serock, who barely even had backdoor draws. But the board proceeded to run out Q♠10♠ as he made a miraculous two pair to put a tough beat on Collopy.
"The flop was three-five-eight and you lost!?!" said table mate Jeremy Becker. "That's gotta be so tilting!"
