Jones Calls Correctly

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was picked up on the river between Wesley Jones in the small blind and a player under the gun, with 61,000 in the center.

The board read {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Jones checked to his opponent who bet 38,000, sending Jones into the tank. After a little over a minute he put the chips in the center.

His opponent shook his head and turned over {q-Spades}{10-Spades} for a pair of tens. It was no good against Jones' {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for a pair of aces and Jones took down a decent sized pot.

Mike Cordell
Mike Cordell

Mike Cordell raised to 7,000 which saw the small blind call and Christopher Chronister in the big blind call as well.

The flop came down {q-Spades}{a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and the small blind bet 9,000 which Chronister called. Cordell moved all in for 63,000 which folded out the small blind and Chronister called to put himself at risk.

Christopher Chronister: {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Mike Cordell: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Cordell's aces-up were good to eliminate Chronister and win a near double up.
