Hengsakul Rides a Roller Coaster To Double

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante
Peter Hengsakul
Peter Hengsakul

Peter Hengsakul opened the action with a raise to 600 under the gun and action folded around to the big blind, who three-bet to 3,300. Hengsakul thought for about five seconds and then committed the rest of his chips, immediately receiving a call.

Peter Hengsakul: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Big Blind: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

"Ooh!" said a player at the table as the flop came {q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} to give Hengsakul's opponent a set of queens. He began to slide his chair back as the turn came {5-Clubs}, leaving him with just one shot left at a two outer to stay alive. A split second later, and from slightly further away from the table, Hengsakul watched the river {a-Spades} roll onto the felt.

"Ooh!" said the same player once again, responding to the set-over-set fashion in which Hengsakul doubled. His stack was totaled to be 9,600 and after the pot was right, it was sent his way.

A pile of chips well over 5,000 was already in the middle on a board reading {10-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs} with heads-up action between the under-the-gun Kevin Eyster and the player on his direct left. Eyster had made a bet and received a call, and his opponent was in the process of receiving change for the blue 5,000 chip he called with.

Nearly 15,000 was then in the middle as the two players went to the river {4-Hearts}. Eyster bet another 9,100 and his opponent went into the tank, thinking for around a full minute before letting his hand go.

Nipun Java had bet 1,800 from early position into a pot of around double that size on a board of {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Action was heads up and his opponent was on the button found a call.

Java showed {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for a flopped set of treys and his opponent mucked.
