Neilson Scores a Triple-Up!

[user135779]

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Just when we thought things were going to slow down again, we caught one of the most exciting hands of the night between Daniel Neilson, Jackson Zheng and Kelsey Hendriks.

Zheng raised to 50,000 from under the gun and Hendriks moved all-in before the action folded around to Neilson in the big blind. Neilson promptly moved all-in over the top and Zheng called.

Neilson: {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs}
Zheng: {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}
Hendriks: {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}

The board was spread {8-Spades} {2-Clubs} {2-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} , giving everybody two pair but Neilson's jacks were best. After the chips were cut down, Neilson tripled up to more than 1.3 million and Zheng took the sidepot, which was only worth 32,000. Hendriks was left with 250,000 in chips.
