Best Hand? Not Quite...

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Robert Eisenberg made your standard 3x preflop raise and Jeremiah Smith made your standard push-in-a-stack-of-orange-chips reraise. With his tournament life at stake Eisenberg thought a good while before saying, "I'm sure I'm laying down the best hand here," and tabled {A-?}

.

"You think that was the best hand?" Smith said, and when Eisenberg offered to bet that he indeed had the best hand Smith first showed the {A-Hearts}

and then flashed the {A-Spades}

. Smith said he thought there was a chance Eisenberg would call the all in and said, "If you called with ace-jack...you'd deserve to hit two jacks on the flop."

The flop came {A-Clubs}

and Djokovic checked. Sexton bet 13,000 and Djokovic called.

The turn fell the {8-Diamonds}

and Djokovic checked again. Sexton fired 17,000 this time and Djokovic called.

Before the river hit, Djokovic checked dark. The river was the {10-Diamonds}
