De Laat Triples Up Immediately

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

just before the end of the previous level, David Carasco raised to 900 from under the gun and action folded to Bas de Laat in the small blind. De Laat took some time and then decided to three-bet to 3,600. Lorenzo Bucci defended his big blind and Carasco opted to make the call too.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, De Laat checked, Bucci fired a bet of 15,000 over the line immediately. Carasco contemplated his options and then decided to shove for 26,000. De Laat looked at the clock and then decided to shove for more. Bucci asked for a count and the dealer confirmed De Laat had 27,900.

"Set? Set? Set?" Bucci wondered while looking at both of his opponents and the board. After a while, he made the call with the biggest stack.

David Carasco: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}
Bas de Laat: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Lorenzo Bucci: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Carasco had flopped top pair but both De Laat and Bucci held the overpairs with De Laat ahead of Bucci.

The turn was the {4-Spades} which didn't change anything and neither did the {4-Diamonds} on the river as De Laat busted Carasco and earned a full double-up through Bucci.
