Hildebrand Finds Unlikely Double
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 75,000 ante
Ryutaro Suzuki raised to 150,000 in the cutoff before Per Hildebrand moved all in for his last 385,000 from the small blind.
Suzuki took a moment before making the call, and Hildebrand asked for one card. Suzuki drew two, and the hands were turned up.
Per Hildebrand: 8x6x5x2x
Ryutaro Suzuki: 8x7x4x
Hildebrand laughed as he looked down at 8x to make a pair, but the table reacted in amazement as Suzuki flipped over 7x followed by another 7x to make trips.
Hildebrand's pair of eights were good for the double-up, with Suzuki smiling as the pot was shipped to his left.
