Vinklarek Doubles and Then Eliminated
The cards were on their backs and I had to double check the amount Vinklarek was all-in for. 300 chips. He was all-in against Derek Chisholm holding to Chisholm's . The board ran out and Vinklarek doubled to 1,800.
However, with blinds at 500/1,000 the big blind was not far away for Vinklarek who committed his remaining chips from the big blind after Stephen Malone opened to 2,200 under the gun and Purice called from the small blind.
The three players saw a flop of and Purice lead out for 2,800. Malone called and the was dealt on the turn. Again Purice bet, this time 7,100 and Malone called again. The river was the and Purice fired a third time for 12,900. Malone thought about calling, but decided against it.
Purice showed for trip sevens and it turned out that Vinklarek hadn't looked at his cards yet. He turned over the first, needing another heart or a six to scoop the pot, but the other card was the and his adventure was over.
"I had two of those," said Malone, pointing to the in Purice's hand. "Lucky turn!"
Malone lost a few and Purice adds to his stack on Day 2
