Laborda Flops Big to Triple Up
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Picking up the action live on the flop on the side feature table, Hilton Laborda on the button was involved in a hand with James Jeffrey in late position as well as Gar Cheung in the big blind. With the board reading 2?3?2? Jeffrey had both of his opponents all in and at risk.
Gar Cheung: K?10?
Hilton Laborda: A?2?
James Jeffrey: K?K?
Laborda had flopped trips to put himself in good position to get a triple up. The 3? turn immediately ended Cheung's hopes of outright victory by removing his flush outs while Jeffrey was left needing to hit the case king to scoop the pot. The A? river kept Laborda best to send Cheung out of the tournament while putting a significant dent in Jeffrey's stack.
