Minneapolis Jim Busts

After Minneapolis Jim Meehan moved to the Pavilion Room he made sure to tell us that he kept his vow and was silent for an hour. As a matter of fact he made it over two hours he told us.

Unfortunately for Meehan, he is now busto from the tournament.

After limp-calling a raise from under the gun, Meehan checked to his opponent after a {J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop. His opponent promptly bet 850.

"Why would a monkey limp from the one-hole?" he asked himself.

Eventually he looked at the dealer and announced a raise, splashing the call chips into the pot and sliding out 3,500 more. His opponent pushed his entire stack forward and Meehan quickly called.

His opponent rolled over {K-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for top pair and Meehan stood up, taking his time before tabling {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

"Slow roll?" someone at the table asked tablemate Mohsin Charania quietly.

The {2-Clubs} on the turn was a blank, but the {J-Clubs} on the river made Meehan's opponent two-pair and eliminated him from the tournament.

Slow roll or not it surely was a bad beat for Minneapolis Jim.
