Juha Helped Out
Out Quick With Big Slick
After a preflop raising war with his neighbour who made the final push, Jelassi shrugged his shoulders, made the call and quietly prayed for something other than the two premium hands.

As a result, we lose Jelassi before the end of level two.

A quick glance down at Grundy's stack revealed that he currently has 5,500.
