Koller Triples Up On Pay Jump Bubble
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
With a $4,000 pay jump looming, Ran Koller in the cutoff raised 195,000, almost the whole of his stack leaving just one pink chip behind. Both Upeshka De Silva on the button and Malachy Hagan in the big blind called.
Hagan checked on 4♥10♠3♠. With the action on Koller, he apologised to the table as he made them aware he was going to take some time on his decision given they were on the stone bubble of a pay jump. Eventually, he put in his last 5,000 chip and both remaining players called.
The J♣ and K♥ came on the turn and the river with some small action on the side between De Silva and Hagan. The hand got to a showdown:
Ran Koller: Q♥Q♣
Malachy Hagan: Q♠J♠
Upeshka De Silva: XxXx
Koller tripled up and Hagan won the side pot.
