Tough Start for Little

[user75032]

According to Jonathan Little's Twitter stream, he picked up pocket aces on the second hand and lost 20 big blinds, then lost another 10 with pocket tens a few minutes later. He's down 70 more big blinds after an encounter with a pernicious draw.

Little, in late position, was one of three players to limp into the pot pre-flop. The big blind made a pot-sweetening raise to 300 that all limpers called. When the action checked to Little on an {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{4-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

flop, he bet 1,200. Only one player called.

The turn was the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

. Little's opponent checked and then called another bet for 2,000 chips. Both players shut it down on the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

river. Little's opponent showed {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

, a flush draw that turned a pair of jacks. It was enough to win the pot when Little mucked.
