La Sengphet Sings "Ship It!" After Spiking Runner-Runner

We heard the victorious screams of La Sengphet as she sang "Ship it!" and rushed over to catch the aftermath of a brutal bad beat. Sengphet had shoved all-in preflop with {Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} in a desperation move designed simply to steal the blinds and antes. Unfortunately for her, an opponent snap-called and turned over {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}, and his pocket rockets had Sengphet's bluff in bad shape.

The flop rolled out {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and Sengphet picked up four additional outs with her gutshot straight draw. The {Q-Clubs} on the river intensified the dramatics, as Sengphet could now catch any nine, queen or three to overcome the aces held by her opponent.

River: {Q-Spades}

With that, Sengphet's steal attempt had transformed into trip queens and the exuberant young lady had scored a much needed double-up. She now sits with 46,000 chips after nearly shipping her stack on a pure bluff.
