Hidalgo Wins the Race
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
The hand began with a raise by the under-the-gun player to 3,000. The wager was called in the next seat over before Jack Hidalgo re-raised to 8,000 on the button. The under-the-gun player called before the next seat over jammed for 28,000. Hidalgo also went all-in for 67,000, and the under-the-gun player called to put both at risk.
Early Position: 10♥10♠
Jack Hidalgo: A♥K♠
Under-the-gun: K♦Q♣
Hidalgo needed help, and the cavalry arrived on the flop when the dealer fanned 2♣8♠A♦ to pull Hidalgo ahead.
The 9♦ turn, and the 5♠ river sealed the deal as Hidalgo scored the knockout and the double up.
