Mio On the Charge
Level 22
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez raised to 210,000 in the hijack, and Hani Mio called on the button.
When the dealer flipped over a A♦10♦2♥ flop, Martinez Gonzalez slid a stack of purple 100,000 chips into the middle, enough to cover Mio's remaining 490,000 stack. Mio moved all in, and the cards were revealed.
Hani Mio: A♣J♣9♥8♦
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez: A♠Q♥6♠5♦
Both players improved to trips on the A♥ turn, but crucially, Martinez Gonzalez was still in the lead with his kicker.
The 8♣ river improved Mio to a full house, though, as he let out a very loud "Yes!" across the room, before scooping in yet another double up.
