Morreale Bluffs Into Jones' Straight
Level 11
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Joshua Jones opened to 3,500 on the button, and Morreale defended his big blind. Morreale check-called a 3,000 bet on the A♣10♦8♣ flop before both players checked the arrival of the 10♣ on the turn. The K♥ completed the community cards, and Morreale bet 10,500. Jones wasted no time in tossing in calling chips, and both players revealed their hole cards.
Jones tabled Q♥J♣, while Morreale could only show J♠9♦. Jones added to his stack, having improved to the nut straight on the river just as the tournament was about to hit the 12th level of Day 1b, meaning only two more levels remain before bagging and tagging.
