Kalvari Triples Up with Kings

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Justin Kalvari
Justin Kalvari

Alyssa Henager opened to 6,000 and was called by both Donovan Koldoff and John Divecha in late position. Justin Kalvari had other plans, jamming all-in for about 24,000 from the blinds.

Henager tanked before folding, while Koldoff and Divecha both made the call, putting Kalvari at risk. As they did, Henager remarked, "I'm glad you called."

The dealer spread a flop of K67, which was checked through by both opponents, and they continued to check down the Q3 runout.

With no more betting, the dealer asked for all hands to be tabled:

Justin Kalvari: KK All in
Donovan Koldoff: QJ
John Divecha: 99

Kalvari had flopped top set and held through to triple up.
