Jones Takes a Small Hit With Aces

Steven Jones raised to 1,000 from the cutoff and Salim El Mamouni called in the small blind.

The flop came 10♠5♠4♥ and Jones continued for another 1,000. El Mamouni called and both players checked the 10♦ turn.

Jones bet 1,000 again on the 5♣ river and El Mamouni called. Jones then turned over A♦A♠, but El Mamouni had A♥5♥ for a rivered full house.

"It just kept getting worse. I was like, I can't beat anything," the WSOP runner-up said as he and El Mamouni shared a laugh.

Jones is currently sharing a star-studded table that also includes Michael Wang and Mark Teltscher, both sitting on around 20,000.
