Himpele Holds for the Double

Don Himpele
Don Himpele

In Level 13 with blinds of 1,800/3,600 and an ante of 450, "rprmoo" raised to 7,200 under the gun and Don "dhimp20" Himpele three-bet jammed for a little over 50,000 in the hijack. John "Slapshot1085" Forlenza called behind and all remaining players folded.

Don "dhimp20" Himpele: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
John "Slapshot1085" Forlenza: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Himpele earned the double, but it wasn't without a small flop sweat as the board ran out {5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Hearts} to ultimately leave his kings up best over Forlenza's missed straight draw and two pair, eights up.
