HillKerby

Level 17 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

"MakeTheHop" was in the hijack and opened to 3,200. "mtubb2455" called on the button, as did "GameOfEdges" in the small blind. "IGOTCRABZ_33" was in the big blind and defended as well, to take postflop action four ways.

The flop fell and action checked to "MakeTheHop," who made a continuation-bet of 9,600. "mtubb2455" folded and "GameOfEdges" check-raised all in for 39,253. "IGOTCRABZ_33" folded and "MakeTheHop" called.

"GameOfEdges":
"MakeTheHop":

"GameOfEdges" had check-bombed their middle pair and flush draw and found themselves with 14 immediate outs to beat "MakeTheHop's" pocket aces. They found gin on the turn , leaving "MakeTheHop" drawing dead en route to a double as the river came to complete the runout and make it official.
