Jones Puts His Opponent to the Test
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
A player opened to 11,000 from under the gun and Jesse Jones called next to act. From middle position, Eric Kyle three-bet to 30,000 and both opponents called.
The 9♦7♠2♠ flop checked through to the K♥ turn which saw the under the gun player bet 30,000, and only Jones called.
On the 3♦ river, the under the gun player cut out a bet of 65,000. Jones responded with an all-in for 160,000 effective as the covering stack. Over three minutes would run off the clock before his opponent finally decided to let it go, as Jones becomes the runaway chip-leader from this flight.
