Costantini Gets Near Double Up

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Five players saw a flop of KQJ with 7,000 in the middle. The hijack bet 3,500 which was raised by Massimo Costantini in the button to 8,700. Only the hijack made the call and the other three players folded.

The 3 came on the turn and Costantini bet 15,600. The hijack check-jammed for 39,200 and was snap-called by Costantini.

Hijack: K10
Massimo Costantini: A10

Costantini flopped Broadway, but the hijack had a number of outs with the open-ended straight flush draw. The Q on the river was a brick to send the hijack to the exit and give Costantini a six-figure stack.

The hijack took a photo of the board much to the annoyance of one player at the table. "Don't let them take a stupid photo of a stupid hand, I am here to play poker!" Tweet your guesses to @PokerNews, no prizes for the correct answer.
