Lijo Doubles Up
Level 10
: 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Mike Puski in the small blind raised to 7,000 preflop, but then was three-bet all in by Lander Lijo in the big blind. Puski quickly called and the two players tabled their cards, with Lijo at risk.
Mike Puski: 
Lander Lijo: 
The board on the turn was 
, meaning the only way that Puski could win would be to hit a two-outer king for a gutshot straight. But fate was extra cruel when the 
came on the river, which made a set for Puski but also gave Lijo a straight, awarding the Spanish pro the pot for a double up.
