Diamonds Are Kilgallon's Best Friend

Frank Visser

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jarlath Kilgallon and Mark Kilkelly were heads up on a flop of 9?4?7? when Kilgallon made a 4,300 bet into the pot of 9,000 from under the gun. Kilkelly sat next to him and quickly made the call.

Kilgallon then put 5,800 in the middle on the 3? turn, and another call followed from Kilkelly. The A? river brought the fourth diamond on board, but it did not scare Kilgallon, who completed his triple barrel with a bet of 7,200.

"Ah, go on then," groaned Kilkelly while he threw his cards into the muck, surrendering the pot to his neighbor.
