mnuwwarah

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Jason Zarlenga opened for 4,200 in early position and was called by Noomis Jones in the small blind. Big blind John Beauprez made it about 13,000 to go, and both opponents called. The flop brought , and Jones checked. Beauprez continuation-bet 18,000, getting a fold from Zarlenga. Jones was stickier though, and put in a raise of 25,000 more. Beauprez thought only briefly before moving all in, and Jones called for 60,100 more.

Beauprez:
Jones:

It was the worst-case flop for Jones, and he found no king on the last two streets as tens fell.

Beauprez has $585,311 in live tournament earnings, with most of it coming when he captured a bracelet during last year's World Series of Poker in Event #4: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Max.
