Wai Ngai Triples Up
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Under the gun, Wai Ngai had only 38,000 chips when he moved all in. Everybody folded to the player on the button, who chose to put all his 360,000 chips in the middle.
But from the small blind, Tyler Brown thought he had a good hand too and decided to take part in this hand.
Wai Ngai: K♦J♦
Button player: 7♦7♣
Tyler Brown: 8♣8♠
Despite the fact that he hit a king on the flop K♣10♦6♥ and on the turn K♠, Ngai waited for the river 9♠ to celebrate his triple up. Brown took the side pot with his two pairs and started the next hand with 134,000 chips.
