Vance Essak Triples Up In Massive Cooler

Nov 13, '21

Belgica Juarez Dardon raised from the hijack and in the blink of an eye, Vance Essak was all in from the cutoff for 74,000, Scot Munro was all in from the big blind for 99,000 and Dardon called, covering both players.

It was a cold deck with Dardon showing AA, Munro tabling KK, and Essak turning over QQ. The three best hands possible were dealt out with Dardon having all the suits covered, so nobody could make a flush to beat her.

The flop was J92, keeping Dardon in the lead, but the 10 came on the turn, which gave straight draws to both her opponents.

Unfortunately for Dardon, the K came on the river, which gave Essak a straight and Munro a set. Essak took the main pot and tripled up, while Munro took the very small side pot.

Vance Essak – 241,000
Scot Munro – 48,000
Belgica Juarez Dardon – 115,000
