Kola Hooks

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

Rajasekhar Kola opened under the gun and Jack Christensen called sitting to his left. Action on the table folded around to Justin Heilman who three-bet to 2,800 on the button, Kola called and Christensen four-bet jammed. Action was back on Heilman who reluctantly tossed his hand into the muck while Kola called putting Christensen at risk.

Rajasekhar Kola: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Jack Christensen: {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

Kola had Christensen crushed but he found a little hope with the {q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop pairing his nine.

The {2-Spades} turn was no help to Christensen nor was the {5-Clubs} river and he took his exit from the tournament field.
