Hill Kerby

Level 25 : 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante

"chikyrod18" opened to 70,000 under the gun and saw "RequalsI" three-bet jam over the top for 436,000 in the hijack. Action folded back to "chikyrod18" and they called all in for 409,000.

"chikyrod18":
"RequalsI":

"RequalsI" had a commanding lead for the knockout and near double but saw "chikyrod18" hit one of their necessary three outs on the flop . Nonetheless, the two were nearly even to end up on top as "RequalsI" found themselves with a royal flush draw. After all the flop drama, however, the turn and river were both completely uneventful, leaving "chikyrod18" to earn the double and leave "RequalsI" with less than one big blind left in their stack.

"RequalsI" doubled on the very next hand, but then lost the following one for a chance to have an eight-big-blind stack, instead becoming the 36th-place finisher in the tournament.
