Woodward Quartered by Jamison

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Gregory Jamison opened to 2,400 in early position and was met with a call from Matt Woodward in the hijack, the player in the cutoff, and Chris Vitch in the big blind.

The flop landed {3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and after Vitch checked, Jamison bet 1,200. Woodward and the cutoff called as Vitch folded and action checked through on the {2-Spades} turn.

The river landed the {7-Clubs}, and Jamison bet 2,400. Woodward called, and the cutoff folded.

Jamison tabled his {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{3-Spades}, and Woodward his {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} to see Jamison receive three-quarters with his stronger high of kings-up, and the same low as Woodward.
