Lambrecht Gets a Triple Then a Double

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Matthew Lambrecht
Matthew Lambrecht

Justin Young opened to 40,000 from under the gun and was called by Nolan King from the small blind. Matthew Lambrecht had just 10,000 behind after he paid the big blind and ante and called off his stack blind.

Young and King were rooting for Lambrecht but declared they would gun for each other for the side pot.

King check-called for 40,000 on the J?5?2? pot and then claimed the side pot after his 65,000 bet on the Q? turn as Young folded.

"I don't have a pair yet," said Nolan as he tabled his A?3?.

Lambrecht peeled his first card, which was an unhelpful 8?, but the second was the Q? to give a pair of queens for the lead. The J? completed the board and Lambrecht saw his stack rise to 110,000.

The next hand, King opened to 45,000 and called when Lambrecht moved all in again.

Matthew Lambrecht: A?7?
Nolan King: Q?3?

Neither player connected on the 8x9?2?6?K? runout and Lambrecht raked in a double-up.
