Jordaan Doubles Up

Frank Visser

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

In a pot containing 7,000 chips, three players went to a flop of 4?7?2?. Leon Jordaan checked from the big blind and Cyril Doherty bet 2,000 from under the gun. Sebastian-Ionut Mihai then raised to 5,500, after which Jordaan three-bet jammed in his stack of 25,500.

Doherty pondered for a while before making the fold, but Mihai came out with a quick call to put his opponent at risk.

Leon Jordaan: 4?4?
Sebastian-Ionut Mihai: K?K?

Jordaan had flopped a set and was a big favorite against the overpair of Mihai. No king came on the 2?9? runout, securing the double-up for Jordaan, who soared back to more than a starting stack.
