Backdoor Galore
With the table currently playing six-handed, Andreas Eiler opened to 5,400 from the hijack, picking up Pierre Neuville from the small blind and Kenny Hallaert from the big blind.
The three players took an flop, with action checking round to Eiler, who put in a continuation bet of 9,500. Both Neuville and Hallaert wanted to see another card, making the call and going to the turn. Neuville checked again, with Hallaert taking the lead, betting out 27,000. Eiler thought momentarily, before re-checking his hole cards and folding, while Neuville stuck around to see the river.
The board paired on the river, with Neuville checking a third time. After some consideration, Hallaert set Neuville all-in for his remaining 51,600. Neuville wasted no time making the call, turning over for backdoor trips. Hallaert showed his for a missed combo draw, as Neuville picked up a big double.
