Michael Kuney Doubles Thru Albert Calderon

May 7, 2023

Three players put in about 18,000 each to see a flop of Spade 10Diamond 9Diamond 5. All three players check.

The turn card pairs the board with the Spade 5, and Michael Kuney bets 35,000. Ash Raney folds UTG+1, and Albert Calderon moves all in from the cutoff for about 450,000.

Kuney uses three Time Chips to tank for nearly two minutes before he calls, and Calderon shows Spade 8Spade 7 for a spade flush draw with an open-ended straight draw. Kuney turns over Heart KHeart 10 for two pair, tens and fives, and needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The river card is the Heart 3, and Kuney wins the pot with his two pair to double up in chips.

Michael Kuney  –  332,000  (55 bb)
Albert Calderon  –  315,000  (53 bb)
