Hudson Triples Up
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Action was joined as three players were preparing to turn their cards over preflop. Tom Hudson, the shortest stack and the hijack, was all in and at risk. Harry Mccloskey, the button, also had his tournament life on the line. Daniel Bolgrin, the small blind, had both of his opponents covered.
Tom Hudson: K♦10♦
Harry Mccloskey: A♣J♠
Daniel Bolgrin: K♣J♥
The 10♥4♥A♠ flop paired both Mccloskey and Hudson, keeping Mccloskey in the lead. The 10♣ turn then gave Hudson the lead with his trip tens. The 3♥ river changed nothing, and Hudson tripled up. Mccloskey won the side pot to remain alive.
