Nick Becker

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action went three-ways to a flop of 9♣4♦J♠ in a hand between the under-the-gun Terence Reid, Robin Stene in the small blind, and the player in the big blind.

It checked over to Reid who bet 9,000 and Stene moved all in for 37,500 to put himself at risk. The big blind got out of the way and Reid quickly called.

Robin Stene: J♥9♠ All in
Terence Reid: K♣K♦

The turn landed the 8♥ and the river fell the 2♦, earning Stene the double up with two pair, jacks and nines to crack Reid's kings.
