Theo Jorgensen
Theo Jorgensen

Theo Jorgensen just added a cool 200,000 to his stack after an encounter with Stefan Jedlicka.

Preflop Jedlicka opened to 10,500 from under the gun and called the raise of 27,000 from Jorgensen in the hijack. Flop came down {5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Spades}, and Jedlicka check-called a bet of 25,000.
