Calderon and Grupp Double
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Mounir Tajiou had received some beverage as ordered by Swedish friends on the rail and then shouted vividly in his native language that he was all-in, up against Albert Calderon in the next seat.
Albert Calderon: A♥K♦
Mounir Tajiou: 5♦5♥
"The flop is good, and the turn is good," Tajiou said as the board ran out Q♣10♥6♦10♣6♠. He didn't notice at first that the pair was counterfeit and Calderon doubled for 870,000.
Another double was awarded to Kyle Grupp through Craig Trost when the former had turned a set of fives with 5♥5♠ on a board of 8♣6♥3♦5♦A♣. Apparently, the big blind had folded and exposed eight-trey, which then became relevant on that specific flop.
