Jattin Jumps Over a Million in Chips
Peter Jorgne opened to 40,000 in the cutoff with 7♣6♣ and Tom Middleton defended a suited six with the K♥6♥. The A♦K♠5♦ flop kept Middleton ahead but he folded when Jorgne continued for 55,000.
Eliot Hudon then made it 40,000 to go with the J♣9♣ in an early position. Farid Jattin on the button had the 8♠8♥ and inquired to see the stack sizes of the two players behind, then called while the blinds let go.
The 6♥6♠2♣ flop brought with it a bet of 100,000 into 130,000 by Hudon and Jattin now checked his remaining stack before using a time bank extension. He then called and they headed to the Q♦ turn. Hudon fired a second barrel for 165,000 to force Jattin into using another time bank before coming along.
The river brought the 8♦ to give Jattin a full house and Hudon gave up his aggression by checking. Jattin bet only 75,000 into 660,000 and Hudon folded.
