Jacoues Torbey Doubles Up in Bizarre Hand

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Natalya Nikitina opened to 13,000 and was called by Bernard Samaha and Kfir Yamin. It was Jacoues Torbey’s turn to act and he moved all in for the last of his chips, 69,500 exactly. This surprised Nikitina who had to think for a while before moving all in as well. Samaha quickly folded but Yamin agonised over the decision. He pointed at Torbey and said, “You I snap call.” The pointed at Nikitina, “But you?” He flashed {9-}{9-} and folded.

Torbey turned over {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, Nikitina had {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}. A board of {7-Clubs}{k-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-Hearts}{3-Hearts} had Nikitina shaking her head as she handed over the chips

A few hands later on a board of {3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs} Torbey led from the small blind into Nikitina and she moved all in. He folded {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} face up.
