Hwang Triples

Robert Hwang is all smiles after tripling up.
Robert Hwang is all smiles after tripling up.

Paul Berende raised from first position, John Virtue re-raised from the small blind, and Robert Hwang was all in for 66,000. Berende and Virtue both called, and checked it down as the board ran out {6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

Virtue's {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} was ahead of Berende's {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, but Hwang's {a-Spades}{6-Clubs} was best, and he tripled up to 198,000 chips.
