Latinois Curious About Jorgne's Jam

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A sizeable pot of about 225,000 had been built by the turn between Peter Jorgne in the big blind and Malo Latinois under the gun.

The board read {10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Jorgne bet 150,000. Latinois called and the river brought the {7-Hearts}.

Jorgne quickly moved all in for 211,000 and Latnois commented on the speed of Jorgne's river jam as he thought about whether to call.

Ultimately Latinois chose to muck his hand and send the healthy pot to his neighbor to his right.
