Leal Cracks Kings and Jacks
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
In a hand relayed to PokerNews by John Leal, Leal was all-in against two opponents and was able to triple up in an unlikely way.
John Leal A♥7♥
Opponent One: KxKx
Opponent Two: JxJx
According to Leal the flop fell A♠5♥9♥, pairing Leal's ace and eliminating two of the four remaining cards in the deck that could beat the top pair due to the heart flush draw.
The board ran out clean, with the 2♠ on the turn and the 8♣ on the river, providing Leal the win and the triple.
