Jacked Up

Jack Powell moved up to about 280,000 after a short stack pushed preflop and another stack moved in behind. Powell moved in with {J-?} {J-?}, admitting afterwards, "I didn't really want to call."

He was up against {A-?} {Q-?} and probably felt quite relieved when he flopped quads!

After he told me this story, he raised the next hand from the cutoff to 18,000, only for the cutoff to push for an additional 35,000.

Powell made the call with {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} and saw he was against a dominating {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}. The board came{Q-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} and Powell was knocked down to 240,000.
