Nina Building a Massive Stack After Double Knockout

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.
