Hankinson Defies the Odds
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
On a three-way turn of 7♣9♦Q♥2♥, Joseph Boulais, Caleb King, and Justin Hankinson got all their chips into the middle, with King covering.
Joseph Boulais: K♦K♥
Justin Hankinson: 9♥10♥
Caleb King: 7♠7♦
King was in good shape to score a double knockout with his flopped set of sevens, but as luck would have it, the 3♥ smacked down on the river to give Hankinson a flush to scoop the entire pot.
"Yes!" he shouted as he stood up and punched the air, "There was just too much money in there, I had to call!" He tried reasoning with his opponents.
Hankinson was then pushed the giant pile of chips to boost his stack up to over 5,000,000 while Boulais was eliminated and King was left sitting there in a daze.
