Uselis Hooks Opponent

Anthony Thompson

Level 20 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Gediminas Uselis raised from under the gun and action folded to the player in the big blind who raised all in. Uselis called and the two players tabled their hands.

Opponent:
Gediminas Uselis:

Uselis was ahead and liked seeing a jack in the window on the flop.

The turn secured Uselis the pot and the dealer dropped the meaningless on the river.
