Fly Robbins Fly

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

In a big hand just before the break, Chau Giang bet enough on a flop of {K-Hearts}

to put Jamie Robbins all in, and Robbins made the call.

Robbins showed {8-Clubs}

for trip eights, and Giang showed {A-Hearts}

for a pair of kings and no real draws. The board did not alter the circumstances, and Robbins doubled up to 88,000.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

A late-position player limped, James Pickering raised to 12,000 from the small blind. Carter Gill called from the big blind, as did the late-position player.

The flop came {J-Diamonds}

. Pickering pushed his remaining chips all in, Gill called, and the LP player folded. Pickering showed {A-Diamonds}

for the nut straight, plus redraws to a better straight. Gill showed {J-Clubs}

.

The turn was the {J-Spades}

and the river the {6-Clubs}

, and Pickering is now up around 100,000. Gill, meanwhile, has fallen back down to 35,000.
