Boucas Doubles Through Jehu
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
A large pot was already brewing between Constantinos Boucas and Liam Jehu on a board of 7♣J♥Q♦7♦.
Jehu checked from under the gun to Boucas, who shoved on the button for approximately 85,000 — which was well in excess of the pot.
"I'm always supposed to call, but you've given me such an opportunity to fold," Jehu said as he agonized over his decision.
Eventually, the clock was called and floor gave Jehu a countdown to declare his action or have his hand ruled dead.
Jehu stuck in a call with seconds to go and cards were revealed.
Constantinos Boucas: K♦K♥
Liam Jehu: A♦Q♠
Jehu saw the bad news, and the 2♥ river kept Boucas' kings best to award him the massive double up.
"Merry Christmas," a dejected Jehu said.
