Turner Turns a Lock
Level 32
: 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Jimmy Poper raised to 250,000 from under the gun, Joshua Turner shoved from the button for about 2.12 million, and Poper called with a covering stack.
Jimmy Poper: 
Joshua Turner: 
The two players were racing for the pot and Turner needed to hold up in order to stay alive. The 
flop missed both players but the 
turn gave Turner jacks full to leave Poper drawing dead. After the 
hit the river, Turner took the pot to double up.
