Bocock Dodges the Open Ender
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Action went three-ways to a flop of Q♠8♦5♣ in a hand between Curtis Vierstraete in middle position, Darin Bocock on the button, and the player in the big blind.
With 32,000 in the middle, the big blind led out for 10,000, Vierstraete called, and Bocock moved all in for 56,000 to put himself at risk. The big blind folded and Vierstraete thought for a moment before flicking in the call.
Darin Bocock: A♥Q♦ 
Curtis Vierstraete: 7♣6♣
The turn landed the 5♠ and Bocock would need to dodge a four or a nine on the river to stay alive.
He did exactly that when the river brought the 5♥, earning him the double up.
