ActionJeff Wins First Match

[user24788]

I caught the action on the flop of {Q-Clubs}

. ActionJeff checked. Sorel Mizzi bet 750. ActionJeff check-raised to 2,500. Mizzi moved all in and ActionJeff insta-called.

ActionJeff: {3-Hearts}

Mizzi:

Talk about an action flop. ActionJeff was ahead with a set against Mizzi's top two. The turn was the {4-Clubs}

and the river was the {10-Hearts}

. And in a flash, their first match was over. ActionJeff took a 1-0 lead.

This heads-up battle had been going back and forth for quite some time. In the end the blinds reached a point where the players were forced to gamble.

The final hand came when Clonie Gowen called the all in push of Joe Le. Gowen held the lead with {A-Clubs}

against Le's {K-Spades}

.

The board ran out {9-Clubs}

and Le slams his fist in delight on the table as the miracle king on the river gives him the pot and the win.

After two gruelling head-up matches, Gowen is eliminated from the event while Le progresses to round three!
