Sinishtaj Doubles Through Van Der Spuy
Level 3
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
In multiway action to the K♠5♦2♠ flop with around 50,000 in the middle, Jean-Pierre Van Der Spuy bet 33,000. Gjergj Sinishtaj then raised the pot and it folded back to the South African who announced all-in. Sinishtaj called and the cards were flipped over as Van Der Spuy jumped out of his chair, barely able to watch.
Gjergj Sinishtaj: K♣K♥Q♣9♣
Jean-Pierre Van Der Spuy: A♥A♠9♠3♦
Van Der Spuy had aces with the nut flush draw but Sinishtaj was ahead with his top set. The 6♥ turn and 7♥ river ensured a big double for Sinishtaj worth 281,500.
