Jones Sends One Out Early
Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
Two players each put in around 3,700, Bill Jones being one of them to do so and the dealer spread out 
on the flop.
Action checked to Jones, he bet pot for 7,600 and his opponent check-called to see the 
turn card. His opponent then moved all in for 6,100 and Jones called.
Jones tabled 
for a pair of aces with draws on every end and his opponent then showed 
for hearts with the nut-low draw.
A 
fell on the river and Jones took down the pot with his aces as his opponent missed everything, sending the almost double-up sized pot to Jones.
