Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Dirk Perdrix moved all in for his final 50,000 from middle position. Robert Georato raised to 200,000 from the hijack, and Kainoa Nguyen flatted from the small blind, creating a side pot between the two.
Kainoa Nguyen checked all three streets over to his opponent, and Georato fired three barrels, to the tune of 100,000, 375,000, and 575,000 on the J♦7♣J♥ flop, 4♣ turn and K♠ river respectively. Nguyen called the first two, then announced "all in" on the river, for less than 700,000. Georato tabled K♣9♥ for top two, without realising that Nguyen had shoved, rather than called. He quickly mucked, and Nguyen tabled A♣J♣ for trips, besting the 5♠5♣ of Perdrix
