Limp-Jam Pays Off for Scott

Tyler Boyer

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action folded to Thomas Scott in the hijack who limped in, before the player in the cutoff raised to 3,000. He was called by Trevor Jones on the button, and the big blind. Scott then three-bet all in, which got the cutoff to fold, Jones called for his stack of 15,500, and the big blind folded as well, leaving the players heads up, with Jones at risk.

Trevor Jones: 3♥3♣ All in
Thomas Scott: A♥A♦

Scott limp jammed his pocket aces and was in a great spot for a knockout. When the board ran out 5♥10♦7♣Q♥6♥ he did just that, his pocket aces were still best.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Chris Moneymaker opened the action from early position with a raise to 2,000, which was called by John Therrell in middle position. It then folded to the small blind Robert Muriel who three-bet all in for his stack of 18,700. Moneymaker folded, but Therrell made the call to put Muriel at risk.

Robert Muriel: 10♥10♦ All in
John Therrell: 9♠9♣

Muriel was ahead with the bigger pocket pair, and when the board ran out A♣2♦5♥2♥10♠ he improved to a full house, tens full of deuces to double up.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action folded to Steven McKuin in the hijack, and he raised all in for his stack of 5,800. The player in the cutoff made the call, as did Chanda Davis in the small blind.

The flop came K♦2♦J♥ and Davis bet out 7,000, which got the small blind to quickly fold, leaving the players heads up, with McKuin at risk.

Steven McKuin: K♣Q♥ All in
Chanda Davis: K♥J♦

McKuin flopped top pair, but Davis flopped top two pair to give her the lead and put McKuin on the brink of elimination. However, the A♣ on the turn gave McKuin more outs in the form of a Broadway straight draw, and another ace as counterfeit outs. The river brought the A♦ which did counterfeit Davis's two pair, giving McKuin the best hand with aces and kings, with a queen kicker, to take the pot and triple up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Chanda Davis	31,000 42,500	42,500
Steven Mckuin	18,600 11,400	11,400

After the J♦8♥9♦ flop, the small blind checked to the original raiser, who bet out 3,100. Pham then raised to 8,000, which got the small blind to quickly fold. The early position player then shook his hand and tossed Q♥J♠ in the muck, giving Pham the pot.
