Ellinghaus Gets Good Karma For Double Bustout

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Blake Ellinghaus had just paid for a coffee for table neighbor Mary Darnell as he and two opponents went to a flop of Q♦8♠6♦. "I'll just keep leeching off you," Darnell told him.

"You keep taking my chips, I'll keep buying you coffee," Ellinghaus replied as Darnell was sitting on a massive stack of around 150,000. Ellinghaus then bet 3,000 from the cutoff and the small blind moved all in for 25,000.

Another opponent in the hijack tried to call Ellinghaus' bet without realizing the small blind had moved all in. She was given the option of surrendering 3,000, but she eventually put in her last 15,000. Ellinghaus called to put both opponents at risk.

Hijack: K♣K♠ All in
Small blind: 9♦7♦ All in
Blake Ellinghaus: J♦8♦

The turn came the J♠ to give Ellinghaus the lead with two pair, while the 7♣ fell on the river and Ellinghaus sent both opponents to the rail.
