Pon Triples; Paredes Takes Side
Level 29
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Gregory Pon went all-in for 1,250,000 from the hijack before Henri Perez Lopez made the call on the button. Victor Paredes also went all-in for approximately 2,000,000 from the big blind. Lopez called again to put both Paredes and Pon at risk.
Gregory Pon: 10♠8♠
Victor Paredes: Q♣Q♠
Henri Perez Lopez: 6♠6♥
Pon was in third place before the flop, but he vaulted into first in a hurry when the flop came 8♦10♥4♥ to give him two pair.
The 3♥ turn gave Lopez plenty of outs to score the double knockout.
Pon would secure the triple up on the A♦ river to stay alive, while Paredes won the side pot to stay in contention.
