Crews Cracks Howard's Kings for Double
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
The cutoff player opened for 2,700 and was called by Jason Crews from the small blind before Taylor Howard three-bet to 12,000 from the big blind.
The initial raiser folded while Crews called and the dealer dropped a ![]()
![]()
flop on the felt. Crews check-jammed for 35,100 after Howard continued for 15,000 and was snap-called.
Jason Crews: ![]()
![]()
Taylor Howard: ![]()
![]()
Both players held made hands with Crews way behind but the
turn did make things interesting as it gave him a gutshot straight draw.
Crews needed a jack or ten to stay alive and fortunately for him, the dealer heard his prayer, peeling off the
on the river.
