Win-Win For Kanaan
![[user162117]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
One of the good things about traveling to great poker destinations like Queenstown is that putting all of your chips in the middle becomes a win-win situation. You either double your chips in the tournament or you get to go outside and enjoy all the thrills of the town.
That��s a coinflip situation that doesn��t happen too often in poker.
It means that sometimes players are prepared to gamble in a spot that they might otherwise let go. Previous ANZPT Sydney champion Michael Kanaan just gave us the perfect example.
With a raise to 450 from the big stack of Lithuanian Laurynas Levinskas in front, Kanaan was next to speak and three-bet to 1,025. Levinskas came back with a four-bet to 2,150 to which Kanaan decided to five-bet jam all in with a wave of his arms. Levinskas didn��t wait for a count as he quickly called an opened 
.
��Is that all?�� replied Kanaan as he tabled a dominated 
.
Kanaan packed up his headphones and was ready to head out into the cool air of Queenstown, but the poker Gods decided he wasn��t done just yet as the board rolled off 
to give Kanaan kings and jacks to take down the pot and more than double his stack of 16,875.
