Sebesfi Makes Quads To Score Knockout
Niveau 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The action folded to a player in the hijack who opened for 20,000 and only David Sebesfi made the call on the button.
The flop came K♦10♣3♣ and the initial raiser checked to Sebesfi who bet out 30,000. The hijack put in a check-raise to 85,000 and Sebesfi took some time before moving all in, covering the roughly 170,000 total for the hijack, who quickly called.
Hijack: K♣10♦
David Sebesfi: 3♥3♠
Both players smashed the board, but it was Sebesfi who was on the right end of the cooler with his set of threes. The turn came the J♣ and the hijack picked up more outs with a flush draw to go along with his two pair. The river locked it up for Sebesfi when the 3♦ hit to give him quads and send his opponent to the exit before the money.
