Mighall Double Leaves Tong Short
Level 19
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Kristopher Tong raised the button to 100,000 and Phillip Mighall in the small blind three-bet the pot, then called all-in when Tong jammed into him.
Phillip Mighall: A♠K♣10♠7♥
Kristopher Tong: Q♥J♠J♣9♥
The Q♦8♥2♥ flop vaulted Tong into the lead, which he retained with the 8♣ turn. However, the K♦ followed on the river to give Mighall the superior two pair and double worth 575,000.
One table over, Eelis Parssinen repotted to 360,000 on the button and Aaron Kupin flat-called for two thirds of his short stack. Kupin checked an ace-high flop and then folded when Pärssinen bet 200,000.
