Jones Begins His Comeback
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Rick Lutt bet 4,000 from the big blind on a flop of 4♥2♣2♦ and an under-the-gun player raised to 10,000. Ross Jones called in early position, Todd Hyder called in the small blind, while Lutt got out of the way.
All three players checked the 5♦ turn. The under-the-gun player then bet 15,000 on the J♥ river, but this time Jones moved all in for 27,000. Hyder folded, while the under-the-gun player called.
Jones showed A♥J♦ for a rivered two pair. "I should've bet," his opponent lamented as he tossed 8♣8♠ into the muck.
"That's how you comeback, baby," Jones said as he doubled up.
At the same table, Jeremy Hendricks has built a stack of around 250,000. "He's the one who stole my chips. Got lucky on the river," Jones said.
