Gafner Can't Lose
Level 23
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
A player jammed for 590,000 from under the gun before Toby Gafner slid a stack of green T-100,000 chips forward to raise next-to-act. The hijack then committed their final 850,000 before it folded to Mario Rodriguez in the big blind, who faced a difficult decision. After a minute's tank, he elected to fold AxKx face up.
Under the Gun: Q♣7♣
Hijack: A♠K♠
Toby Gafner: J♠J♦
Rodriguez was happy to see the J♥5♥2♣ flop, while Gafner's opponents were the opposite as the jacks improved to a set.
The 8♣ turn added a flush draw for the under the gun player, but the river was the 9♦ and Gafner scored a double elimination as he extends his chip lead.
