Hilton Laborda Doubles Twice to Get Back in It

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

Hand #1: A Lucky River

Hilton Laborda was all in for his last 2,000 chips from early position and got action from the player in the cutoff. Laborda was at risk with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} while his opponent held {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. The board ran out {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Laborda cheered as he hit one of the two remaining tens in the deck to double up.

Hand #2: Cracking Jacks

Laborda raised to 400 from under the gun and the very same opponent three-bet to 1,300 from the hijack. Laborda called. The flop came {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Laborda checked. His opponent moved all in and Laborda snap-called for his last 2,725. He tabled {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for top pair, well ahead of his opponent's {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}. The turn was the {a-Diamonds} and the river was the {2-Hearts} to give Laborda a boat to double up.
