Two Double-Ups for Denzel
Level 3
: Blinds 0/0, 1,000 ante
Cards are on their backs with 70,000 chips in the middle as Denzel was all-in for 66,500 with the A♦J♣. They had flopped trips on J♦J♥10♣ against the 7♠7♣ of Zong Bao and improved to unbeatable quads on the J♥ turn. That made the 7♥ river a formality.
Soon after, Denzel jammed for 182,500 with the turn showing A♦9♣8♥J♣. Kobe reluctantly called for more than half of his stack and showed the A♠J♠ for two pair. Denzel was ahead with 7♦6♦ for a straight and the K♠ river ensured another double-up.
