Hill Kerby

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante

"ShippityShip" was under the gun and opened the action with a raise to 20,000. Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden called in the hijack and "Vsegris" three-bet in the small blind to 90,000. "ShippityShip" four-bet all in for Vousden's effective stack of 457,000. Vousden called, and "Vsegris" also called all in for 335,000.

"Vsegris":
Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden:
"ShippityShip":

"Vsegris" was in prime position to triple and the flop only increased their odds. The turn and river changed nothing and they scored the triple, while "ShippityShip" took the side pot as their jacks held vs Vousden's ace-king, which left him dry on chips and thus eliminated from the tournament.
