Hicks Gets a Dramatic Double Off May
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Sam Hicks moved all in for 54,000 in middle position and Jasper May called in early position.
Sam Hicks: A♠9♥
Jasper May: K♠5♠
May took the lead on the 7♠5♦3♥ flop with a pair of fives. The dealer then paused for a moment to hand something to the next dealer that was coming to this table before they finally revealed the turn, which was the A♦. Hicks moved back in front with a pair, and the river was the J♣ to earn him a double up.
"Pause for dramatic effect," a tablemate said.
"I didn't need that," Hicks added.
