Rollercoaster Runout Keeps Daniels Afloat

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Jake Daniels
Jake Daniels

Jake Daniels was in a three-way pot on a board reading {3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. A player bet 5,000 and the next player to act called, while Daniels check-raised to 17,000.

The initial bettor re-raised all-in for 49,800 and Daniels snap-called with less when the action folded to him.

Jake Daniels: {q-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Daniels was in front with trips but still needed to dodge a diamond. The turn brought the {10-Diamonds} to give the opponent the flush and Daniels stood up from his seat in defeat.

"I'm always losing — Oh! Look at that!" he said as the dealer put out the {3-Clubs} to improve him to a full house.

"Don't say I stood up. Say 'Jake said a three is always coming.' That sounds better!" Daniels instructed PokerNews.
