Russler and Jozoff Drag One In
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Michael Jozoff opened to 2,500 from the hijack and Nathan Russler called from the big blind.
Russler check-raised to 4,400 after Jozoff continued for 1,600 on the 7♣7♥2♥ flop. Jozoff called.
On the 8♣ turn, Russler fired for 8,500.
"I don't know what to do here, so I fold," said Jozoff as the pot was pushed to Russler.
The next hand, Jozoff opened to 2,500 again. Russler called and so did the big blind.
Jozoff continued for 2,500 on the 8♦2♦2♠ flop and only the big blind called. The big blind then check-called for 9,000 on the A♠ turn before action checked through on the Q♣ river.
The big blind tabled 8♠3♠ for two pair, eights and deuces. However Jozoff had the winner with his A♦3♦ for aces and deuces.
