Olsen Flops a Miracle to Stay Alive
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
A player from early position limped in, before Gisle Olsen raised to 3,200, and was called by the big blind. The player in early position then three-bet all in to 10,100, when Olsen four-bet all in to 15,600. The big blind snapped called, giving us three players with two all in.
Early Position: A♦Q♠ 
Gisle Olsen: J♠J♣
Big Blind: K♠K♥
The big blind set the trap perfectly with his pocket kings, poised for the double elimination. But when the flop came 6♠8♣J♥ it was Olsen with the best hand with his set of jacks. The 5♥ on the turn left the player in early position drawing dead, and the 2♠ on the river officially eliminated him, and Olsen scooped the main and side pot.
