Sargent Cracks Kings For Massive Double; Hinkle Left on Fumes After Running Into Aces
Quintin Sargent and Alexander Scofield went to a flop of 7♥10♥J♦ when Scofield bet 150,000 from the hijack. Sargent then raised to 350,000 in the small blind, Scofield moved all in, and Sargent quickly called for 1,700,000.
Quintin Sargent: J♠J♥
Alexander Scofield: K♦K♥
Scofield turned over two kings, but Sargent had flopped top set. "King-ball, or a heart," Scofield pleaded as the turn came the 4♥, but he missed the 6♠ river and Sargent earned the massive double up.
At the other table, Jeff Copeland raised to 120,000 in the cutoff and snap-called for 1,100,000 after Blair Hinkle shoved in the small blind.
Jeff Copeland: A♦A♣
Blair Hinkle: 2♦2♥
Copeland had woken up with aces, and he stayed in the lead through the 5♣Q♥K♥6♠9♥ board to double up and leave Hinkle on a short stack.
