Christ's Gamble Pays Off

Tyler Boyer

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

When action folded Khoa Luong in middle position he raised to 175,000, and Michael Christ on the button called. Then William Davis, three-bet to 725,000, leaving just 150,000 behind. When it got back to Luong, he announced all in for 655,000. After thinking over his decision, Christ called the 725,000.

The flop came 10?J?4? and when Davis bet all in for 150,000 Christ made the call.

Khoa Luong: A?A?7?5?2? All in
Willam Davis: A?A?7?7?2? All in
Michael Christ: J?5?4?3?2?

When the board ran out 6? on the turn and Q? on the river, it was Christ taking the high hand with two pair, jacks and fours, and Davis taking the low with ace-deuce. For the main pot it was again Christ taking the main pot with two pair, and both Luong and Davis splitting the low with ace-deuce.
