Ryan Delorme Triples Up

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

The hand after Ryan Delorme was left with just a bit over a single big blind, Blake Bohn raised under the gun to 90,000. Justin Thurlow called in the big blind, and Ryan Delorme shoved his remaining 9,000 chips into the middle in the big blind.

Bohn and Thurlow checked it down as the board ran out {3-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}.

"Ace high," Thurlow announced as he turned over {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

But when Delorme turned over his cards, he was shocked to see {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}, as he had not looked at his cards until that point. Bohn mucked his cards, and with that, Delorme tripled up.
