Birchall Virtually Triples With Big Slick
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Niek Minten shoved for roughly 9,000 from the cutoff. Richard Birchall followed suit and shoved himself for 11,000 from the button. Samir Benabdelaziz made the call from the big blind with the covering stack and had the chance to eliminate two players.
Niek Minten: J♥10♣ 
Richard Birchall: A♥K♠
Samir Benabdelaziz: A♦Q♥
The K♦5♥8♣ flop was delightful for Birchall as he paired his king to take a commanding lead. The 10♥ on the turn gave some addition outs to Minten and Benabdelaziz. However, the A♠ on the river improved Birchall to two pair and he had virtually tripled up.
