Presterud Spikes River to Claim Double Knockout in Cooler

Richard Hayes

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Paul Leckey opened to 5,000 in early position and was faced with a three-bet jam by Lorenc Boci in the small blind to 39,500.

Eirik Lund Presterud was in the big blind and moved all in with a stack covering both players. Leckey thought things through momentarily, before moving his stack totaling around 60,000 into the middle.

Lorenc Boci: Q?Q? All in
Paul Leckey: K?K? All in
Eirik Lund Presterud: A?K?

Leckey was in great shape with his pocket kings, while Boci looked pretty disgusted with the spot he found himself in.

The 7?5?4? flop didn't alter matters, but the 6? turn gave Lund Presterud the diamond draw and also brought chop possibilities to reduce Leckey's equity.

As the players waited for the river, Lund Presterud rubbed his king of diamonds, almost pointing out to his opponents that he'd picked up the draw.

The A? then rolled off on the river, sending Lund Presterud the pot with his pair of aces and sending his two unfortunate opponents to the exit.
