"That's How It's Supposed to Be"; Fouts Rides a Roller Coaster to a Double
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Joseph Wilson limped in from under the gun, Mike Fouts moved all in for 10,000 on the button, and Wilson called.
Mike Fouts: J♥J♣
Joseph Wilson: 9♥8♥
Fouts was ahead with his jacks as the flop came 9♠2♦7♥, but Wilson hit two pair on the 8♣ turn to move in front. The river, though, brought the J♦ to give Fouts a set and the double up.
"That's how it's supposed to be," Fouts, who won this event back in 2018, said.
