Jazzar Doubles through Porter

Rony Jazzar
Rony Jazzar
The stacks are more balanced now after Rep Porter took a sizable hit and doubled up Rony Jazzar. Jazzar opened preflop for 66,000, with Porter calling from the small blind. On a ten-high flop, {3-Spades} {10-Clubs} {4-Hearts}, Porter checked and then called Jazzar's bet of 100,000.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds}. Porter checked a second time, prompting Jazzar to move all in for 460,000. It was only the second time Jazzar has been all in at this final table; the first time he showed an under-pair of sevens on the river of a queen-high board. We don't know if that influenced Porter's decision, but he opted to call with top pair, {K-Hearts} {10-Spades}. Jazzar showed {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades} and doubled up with a blank on the river, {4-Spades}.
