Double Knockout OMG
A player in middle position opened to 5,000 and Roland Israelashvili called on the button. Dave "doubledave22" D'Alesandro squeezed all in for 44,200 from the blinds and the original raiser tank-called. It was Israelashvili's turn to go into the tank, and after a minute or two he called as well.
The flop fell and both players checked. The turned and the original raiser moved all in for just over 30,000. Israelashvili returned to the tank, but again he called and all three hands were turned face up.
Original Raiser:
Israelashvili:
D'Alesandro:
D'Alesandro needed a jack. Israelashvili needed a king or a spade.
Miraculously the spiked on the river, sending the entire pot to Israelashvili and eliminating both players. Israelashvili is now among the chip leaders with over 200,000 chips.
