King's Nuts Knock Out Two Players
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Ngoc Nguyen found himself all in preflop, contesting a side pot worth 19,000 with two other players. Anthony Hu and Caleb King had their own side pot, of 35,000, when the three saw a flop of 7♦10♥5♥. Hu shoved for 41,000, and King called before his opponent's chips were even in the middle.
Ngoc Nguyen: A♦K♦8♥6♥
Anthony Hu: J♥J♣9♦9♠
Caleb King: A♥Q♥Q♠2♣
Hu had an overpair and a gutshot, however King had a better overpair. Nguyen was open-ended with hearts, but King also had better hearts. King's Queens were in the lead, and lost it instantly on the 4♠ turn, giving Nguyen the nuts. The 3♥ river gave the lead back to King, who scooped.
