Josh Field Fails to Fade the Deck

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player raised to 375 from under-the-gun and another player in middle position three-bet all-in for his last 2,000. Josh Field looked down and saw the prettiest sight in poker: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. He made the easy call and the original bettor quickly got out of the way.

The all-in player showed down {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and found himself crushed by Field's aces. The flop fell {7-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and the opponent had paired his queen, but was still trialing badly in the hand. After the {6-Clubs} came on the turn, the opponent stood up to acknowledge his defeat and prepared to depart the table.

River: {Q-Hearts}

The reverse-jinx had worked to perfection and the player yelled in triumph after he spiked his miracle card on the river. The loss dropped Field to a little over 10,000 in chips, which is still a healthy stack midway through the first day of action.
