Louie Calvo Doubles Through Eric Hicks

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante

Action folded around to the blinds, and Louie Calvo called from the small. Eric Hicks raised the pot to 150,000 from the big blind, and Calvo made a pot-sized three-bet to 450,000, which left him just over 100,000 chips behind. Hicks thought that Calvo was all in and called the 450,000, but was corrected by the dealer when he began to table his hand and kept his hole cards face-down.

The flop came {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Calvo put the rest of his stack in, and Hicks quickly called.

Calvo: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Hicks: {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}

Calvo had the best hand with his pair of sixes, and Hicks needed to improve in order to stack him. The {2-Hearts} on the turn changed nothing, and the {6-Spades} river gave Calvo a set, so he took the pot to double up.
