Kimmel Smashes the Flop
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Action folded to Daniel Kimmel in middle position who opened to 1,400. The cutoff called and the big blind defended.
The A♥9♠10♠ flop hit the felt and the action checked all the way to the cutoff who bet 2,400. The big blind folded but Kimmel took a moment before check-raising all in for 5,200. The player in late position only needed to call an additional 2,800 and stuck in the chips.
The hands were tabled.
Daniel Kimmel: A♠5♠
Cutoff: K♥Q♠
The cutoff was calling for a jack but it would not come on the 10♣ turn or 9♣ river and Kimmel would scoop the pot to get a pure double and keep his tournament alive.
