Limp-Jam Works for O'Connor
Level 2
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Padraic O'Connor limped from middle position and Mark Hayes raised to 1,300 from the next seat. Action folded back to O'Connor, who jammed for 24,200, about half of Hayes' remaining stack.
The two players, who seemed to be enjoying each other's company at the table, then engaged in another bout of table talk as to whether O'Connor wanted a call.
"Tell me what you have and I'll tell you if I want a call" smiled O'Connor. "Good pair" claimed Hayes, who stuck in a call after a bit more thought.
Padraic O'Connor: A♥K♦ 
Mark Hayes: J♦J♣
It was a fair fight, but the king was in the window on the K♣6♥5♦ flop, and Hayes could not find a two-outer on the 8♣ turn and 8♦ river.
