Jorgensen Dominating But Forced to Chop With Derwiche
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Theo Jorgensen bet 50,000 from the big blind on a flop of J♥9♣5♦ and Imad Derwiche called in the cutoff.
The turn was the 8♠ and Jorgensen checked to Derwiche who bet 200,000. Jorgensen then moved all in and Derwiche called for another 100,000.
Derwiche showed K♥10♥7♦7♥ for a straight, but Jorgensen had a higher straight with K♦Q♦Q♥10♠. The river was the Q♣ and Derwiche found one of the two remaining queens in the deck to make the same straight and chop the pot.
Despite being denied that bustout, Jorgensen has already increased his stack past 1,000,000 after registering at the start of the day.
