After an opening raise in early position to 800, Josh Jackson three-bet to 1,600 from the cutoff. The button and small blind called, and Mike Wilkinson, who has requested to be known as "Magic" MIke, piled his entire stack of approximately 35,000 over top of everyone.
The original raiser folded and with action back on him, Jackson gave his decision some thought, as a call would be for almost his entire stack.
After about a minute of deliberation, Jackson folded, as did the rest of the table, giving "Magic" Mike the pot.
Wlkinson turned over ![]()
and asked Jackson what he folded. Jackson replied that he folded queens.
