Hurley Gets a Sweat on the River
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Joseph Hurley moved all in for 38,000 from under the gun on a flop of 2♠10♥J♣ and Ralph Kingan called in the cutoff.
Joseph Hurley: J♦J♠
Ralph Kingan: Q♣Q♠
Kingan showed two queens, but Hurley had flopped top set to take the lead. The 9♦ turn gave Kingan outs to a straight, while the river came the 9♠.
Hurley thought Kingan had made his straight for a moment before realizing he had improved to a full house. "My butthole puckered so hard. If you're going to put that on the blog, make it sound more sophisticated. His eyes glistened," Hurley said as raked in the double up.
