Suckout for Hunsucker
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Stephen Hubbard began the hand with a raise from the hijack before Michael Hunsucker jammed from the cutoff. Hubbard promptly called when the action folded to him to set up a showdown.
Michael Hunsucker: 9♥9♣
Stephen Hubbard: 10♥10♠
Hubbard had Hunsucker in trouble with a better pocket pair, but just as Hunsucker got up to pack up, the flop came 7♦J♥9♠ to give Hunsucker a flopped set of nines. Hubbard still had outs, however, with any eight or ten giving him a better hand.
The J♦ turn gave Hunscuker a full house, but did give Hubbard a chance to counterfeit the full house with an additional jack. The 5♠ peeled off, which ended the hand, and awarded Hunsucker the double.
