Jacob Celebrates his Fold
Level 15
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
One hand after raising and showing pocket queens, Steven Stogel opened again to 22,000 in early position. John Jacob made the call in the big blind, and checked the 8♥9♠10♦ flop.
Stogel continued with another 22,000, and Jacob called to see the 2♥ turn. Jacob checked once more, and Stogel bet enough to put his opponent all in.
That sent Jacob into the tank, taking a few minutes before announcing a fold. Jacob then celebrated when Stogel showed 10♠10♣ for a flopped set of tens.
Stogel collected the pot, while Jacob indicated that he folded ace-ten to stay alive.
