Pena Scores a Big Double Up

By April 15, 2026No Comments

Blinds: 300,000/500,000

Big stack Guy Shushan raised it up from under the gun, and the only caller was Francisco Pena in the small blind. Pena would check call a bet on the flop of [Qs][9s][8s], and he checked again on the [Qh] turn. Shushan bet all in, around a pot sized bet of the 7,400,000 that Pena had, and he checked his cards again before dropping a chip in for the call.

“You’re good,” Shushan said as he could only muster up [Kd][10d] for a straight draw. He was already drawing dead, as Pena rolled over [Ks][2s] for a flush, and he doubled up into second in chips behind Giles Kirshner.
