Delisle's Tough Call Rewarded

[user75032]

We don't know how it got to this point, but Jerry Delisle was looking at an all-in bet of 31,300 on a board of {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{6-Diamonds}

. He took off his cap, placed it on his head sideways, then took it off again. Finally he called, and his opponent was not happy that he did.

Opponent: {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

Delisle:

{J-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

Delisle had top pair but had to sweat his opponent's combination draw, set plus open-ended straight. The {j-Clubs}

{j-Clubs}

on the turn changed nothing, nor did the {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

river. Delisle's two pair, jacks and nines, were the best hand and sent his opponent off to an early dinner.

Delisle now has about 178,000 chips.
