Da Costa Triples Through Ensan

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Fernando Viana Da Costa got his short stack in from early position, Sean Blanchard got his chips in from the hijack, and both players were at risk against Hossein Ensan in the big blind.

Fernando Viana Da Costa: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Sean Blanchard: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Hossein Ensan: {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

"I folded nines, f***," said Phil Hellmuth at the table.

The board ran out {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{a-Clubs} to keep both at-risk players alive, with Da Costa taking the main pot with his turned straight and Blanchard taking the side pot.

"Even when you have the best hand, you make the right fold," remarked a player to Hellmuth.
