Jontulovic Calls For his Tournament Life With Ace-High
Maher Achour raised to 160,000 from early position and Bogdan Jontulovic three-bet out of the small blind to roughly 400,000. After the big blind folded, Achour called to see a flop.
The flop came down 7♥8♣5♠ and Jontulovic continued with a bet of 150,000. Achour carved out the call.
Upon seeing the 5♣ land on the turn Jontulovic checked. Achour now took the betting lead by firing out 260,000. Jontulovic called with 495,000 behind.
The 4♦ hit the river and Jontulovic checked for the last time. Achour shoved to put Jontulovic all in and Jontulovic went deep into the tank. After burning through a lot of his time bank cards, Jontulovic flicked in the call.
Achour turned over Q♦9♦ for just queen-high. Jontulovic had that beat with A♥10♦ and had correctly called for his tournament life with ace-high, picking off Achour's bluff.
