Event 1: You Don't Know Jack

After a player opened for 4,800 and no less than four players flatted the raise, a young woman looked down at her hand and instantly moved all-in for her last 31,600.

The original raiser responded incredulously, saying "Now I know you didn't wake up with something here, I shoulda known you would!"

Eventually, despite the histrionics, the player mucked his hand, followed by another player folding.

With the action back on him, Jack Choquette decided to make his stand, and he moved all-in as well to cover the woman's wager. The other player involved got out of the way, and the two then revealed their holdings.

Choquette: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}

Choquette had the worst of it, but in poker things change with the turn of a card, and when a {J-Diamonds} appeared in the window, his opponent knew she was headed for a bad beat.

"I wasn't so lucky to pick that hand up, was I?" she asked with a rueful smile. "Nice hand sir."

The turn and river failed to improve her hand, and Choquette took down a sizable pot after making a bold play.
