Jelinek Loses Heart

Steve Jelinek
Steve Jelinek
Steve Jelinek was last seen moping around the corridor, wondering whether to join the cash games or continue vomiting in the toilet. Having raised it up preflop with {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}, Jelinek received four callers, all of whom reached a {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop. With all the value in the pot, he saw no reason to get his remaining 15,000 or so in, but was quickly looked up by {A-?}{J-?}. No further hearts, and Jelinek was gone.

"It was a good chance to get a 40,000 stack," he said in the aftermath.
