Paulson Celebrates too Early
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Jamie Paulson squeezed to 6,000 preflop and then eventually paid when Martin Astorga pushed all-in for 38,000 in the next seat.
Martin Astorga: A♥J♠
Jamie Paulson: 10♦10♣
Paulson celebrated with a vivid "yesss" when the flop came 10♥6♠4♥. Astorga called for a heart and got his sweat with the 9♥ turn. Sure enough, it was followed by the 8♥ river that gave Astorga an unlikely double.
Jan Albea chimed in "never celebrate too early" after this miracle escape.
