Divkovic Rivers Jones

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

The hand started with Dejan Divkovic opening to 80,000 in chip from middle position and finding a caller in Donald Jones.from the big blind. The flop came {5-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Jones checked. Divkovic bet out 75,000 in chips and was met with an instant all in totalling 995,000 in chips. He eventually made the call as both players tabled their cards.

Divkovic: {A-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Jones: {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}

Everything was going to plan as the turn fell the {7-Diamonds}. Jones would need to dodge an ace or six to eliminate Divkovic from the tournament. However, the {6-Spades} fell on the river to send Jones on a long walk to compose himself, as Divkovic raked in a pot worth 2,200,000 in chips.

“I should never leave this country,” joked Divkovic, as he rides his luck towards another possible ANZPT title.
