McVeigh Triple in Improbable Fashion


Tan Hoang raised to 65,000 from under the gun and Jay McVeigh went all in over the top of him from his direct left. Action folded around to Glenda McCall, who called from the small blind. Hoang then asked for a count, which was totaled to be 280,000, and announced he was all in. McCall called.
Jay McVeigh:
Glenda McCall:
Tan Hoang:
McCall was in great shape to earn a knockout and more than a double, while McVeigh was far behind with his ace-ten. The flop came , changing everything as it gave McVeigh three tens. The turn fell
and the river came
to complete the runout.
McVeigh won the main pot and secured a triple. McCall's hand remained best for the side pot and she ended up profiting in the hand despite missing the chance at the knockout. Nonetheless, eight-handed play continues with a sizeable shift to the leader board to go along with it.
