Weng Flops the Joint

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jon Weng opened to 2,500 from middle position and received a single call from the button.

Weng led out for 3,000 on a flop of {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and his opponent responded with a raise to 8,500. Far from discouraged, Weng moved all in and was snapped off by the larger stack to put him at risk.

Jon Weng: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}
Button Player: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The flop had created a massive cooler, with Weng holding the stone cold nuts while his opponent held the fourth nuts. Though he was ahead, Weng could still lose if the board paired. That did not happen on the {a-Clubs} turn or {3-Clubs} river, handing a crucial double to Weng.
