Double trouble

Sat, Dec 6th 2008, 01:22 by Reporter

K Hymas moves all-in for 8,200 preflop, the somewhat steaming Adam Stonewall calls leaving 400 chips behind, James Dempsey calls also. The flop comes 7 9 9 and Stonewall moves his last 400 chips into the pot. Dempsey calls and the cards are turned over. James Dempsey shows A J, virtually drawing dead, Hymas has pocket queens and Stonewall has 7 4 for the flopped pair but needing a 7 to beat Hymas. The turn and river bring an 8 and a T however, and James Dempsey scoops the pot with a straight and taking out the two players. He is now into 6 figures.
