Laborda Flops Big to Triple Up
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.
