Huge Triple Up for Platinum Pass Winner Craigen

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Glen Craigen
Glen Craigen

Glen Craigen moved all in for 133,000 from the cutoff before Frederic Normand rejammed for 192,000 from the button. Rayan Chamas, then counted out his stack from the small blind, he pondered over his options and decided to call.

Glen Craigen: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Frederic Normand: {a-}{k-}
Rayan Chamas: {a-}{k-}

Craigen was dominated and in real bad shape until he paired his jack on the {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop. The Canadian had his phone out and was recording the runout as he was now the favorite to scoop in the 415,000 main pot. The {7-Diamonds} turn and {6-Diamonds} river completed the board and Craigen scooped in the pot.

"This is a dream come true," said the Platinum Pass winner, who was visibly shaking. Now with an above-average stack, he is in a very good place to make the money and put in a deep run.

Craigen's journey to The Bahamas is an emotional one and he relayed how he got to PSPC with PokerNews, which you can check out below.
