Hunt Hits Miracle Flop to Stay Alive

Livello 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The action folded to Matthew Hunt in the hijack who moved all in for 285,000. Michael Rodrigues was next to act and made the call with a bigger stack and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Matthew Hunt: Q♦10♣
Michael Rodrigues: J♣J♥

Rodrigues was well ahead preflop, but when the flop came 10♦10♠5♣, the flopped trips for Hunt took a commanding lead. The A♠8♦ runout was no help to Rodrigues and Hunt scored the double up.
