Gunes Makes the Right Call With Jacks
Level 11
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
With around 140,000 already in the pot on a 9♦4♥3♥ flop, Caner Gunes was deep in the tank, using up most of his time banks.
Gunes had 50,000 out in front of him from the big blind, and Aliaksandr Hirs, on the button, moved all in, asking Gunes the question for his remaining 120,000. In the end, Gunes made the call.
Caner Gunes: J♣J♠
Aliaksandr Hirs: 9♠8♠
Gunes had come to the right decision with his pocket jacks, as he was up against the top pair of Hirs.
Gunes was rewarded when Hirs failed to improve on the A♠ turn and 4♣ river, and he doubled up to almost 400,000 just as the table was broken.
