DeGeorge Gets a Fright

Ollie Garland

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The action was caught as the small blind was all in and at risk against Joe DeGeorge, in the cutoff.

Small Blind: A♥K♦ All in
Joe DeGeorge: 5x5x

DeGeorge was ahead and but the window card flashed the A♣, prompting a burst of frustration. Thankfully for DeGeorge, the 5♦9♣ came quickly behind, giving him a set. The K♠ turn gave an additional sweat for the small blind but the 2♥ river confirmed their departure.
