Celdran Scores a Double Knockout
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Three players saw a final board of 10♦4♥8♣6♦K♦. One player in the hijack was already all in from a previous street, the main pot was worth roughly 30,000 and the side pot was worth 11,000.
A player in middle position bet 25,000 and Fernando Celdran moved all in from the cutoff, covering his opponent who had roughly 45,000 behind.
The middle position player went deep into the tank for several minutes until the clock was called. Finally he made the call and was also at risk.
The hijack could only show Qx9x for queen-high. The middle position player had 8♦8♥ for a set of eights but Celdran turned over J♦9♦ for a flush to eliminate both players and drag in a pot worth over 150 big blinds.
