River Saves Jones
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
The hand began with a raise to 7,000 from under the gun. Marvin Donaldson called from early position before Wesley Jones chose to go all-in for 34,500 on the button. The big blind came along with a call, and Donaldson also called to create a three-handed pot with Jones at risk.
The big blind checked the flop of 7♣4♠2♣, which led to a jam from Donaldson. The big blind folded as Donaldson and Jones went to a showdown.
Wesley Jones: A♣K♣
Marvin Donaldson: 10♠10♣
Jones had plenty of outs with the overcards and the flush draw. The Q♠ turn did not bring any of the outs for Jones, but the K♠ river was a welcome sight for him as he tripled up to stay in contention.
