A player opened to 10,000 in late position which saw WPT champion Mark Davis call in the cutoff while another player called in the big blind.
The flop came out J♠7♥2♥ and the big blind checked to the late position player who bet 5,000. Davis raised to 17,000 which saw the big blind call, while the late position player jammed for 30,000. Davis asked for a count before moving all in himself for just shy of 200,000.
"Let's play a big one," Davis told the big blind "Somebody's gotta catch Moneymaker."
The big blind tossed his hand away, saying he folded a jack.
Opponent: 8♣8♥
Mark Davis: A♥J♥
The turn of 4♥ left Davis with a 100% chance of winning the pot before the 9♠ river even came off. Davis now sits as one of the biggest stacks in the field as he aims to bag.
