Nina Building a Massive Stack After Double Knockout

Level 15: 2,000 / 4,000 ante: 4,000
Taisuke Nina

Taisuke Nina opened to 10,000 from under the gun, Marc Gagne called from the hijack and Seunghyeon Son called from the cutoff. The flop came 4 5 8 and action checked around to Son who shoved for 25,000. Nina called, Gagne re-shoved for 77,000 and Nina called again with a covering stack to put both players at risk.

Son had queen-high, Gagne had a king-high flush draw and Nina was a big favorite with a set of fives. The 3 4 runout kept Nina in the lead to take down a colossal pot while sending two players to the rail.
