Emig Secures Triple Up

Herbie Teope

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Anna Antimony raised to 35,000 in early position, but then faced a three-bet all in from [Removed:471], who put himself at risk with his remaining 170,000.

The situation ratcheted up when Cody Rich then moved all in out of the small blind for his remaining stack.

Antimony asked for a count and the dealer confirmed Rich had a little more than 340,000, which Antimony covered. She briefly pondered the situation before making the call.

[Removed:471]: 9x9x All in
Cody Rich: A?Kx All in
Anna Antimony: A?K?

The dealer fanned 9?Q?8? on the board, giving Emig middle set. The 5? on the turn sealed the hand for Emig, and the 7? fell harmlessly on the river to give Emig a much-needed boost to his chip stack.

Antimony and Rich, however, were left with decimated stacks.
