Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Jeffrey Esterling
Jeffrey Esterling

Jeffrey Esterling raised to 1,000 in the cutoff, the player on the button flatted, the player in the small blind called, as did Rudolf George in the big blind.

The flop came Q♠10♠4♠, the small blind checked, George bet 1,000, Esterling called, the button raised to 3,400, and the small blind folded. George then came over the top with a raise to 7,000, Esterling called, and the button folded.

On the 6♥ turn, George bet 11,900 and Esterling moved all in for 27,600, putting himself at risk. George made the call.

Jeffrey Esterling: A♠K♠ All in
Rudolf George: 8♠2♠

Esterling had Rudolf drawing dead and the meaningless Xx river was dealt.

Jeffrey Esterling: J♠J♣ All in
Rudolf George: A♦7♦

Esterling flopped a set of jacks but would have to fade a diamond to stay in the tournament. But the river was the 8♠ and the set of jacks by Esterling were still best, and he secured the double up.
