Jeff McMillan

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

From the big blind, Ryan Jones three-bet over a hijack raise from Landen Lucas who called.

The flop came the 3♣4♣5♣. Jones led for 125,000 and Lucas called.

The turn was the 2♣ to put four to a straight flush on the board. Both players checked to the river which came the 10♥.

Jones bet 500,000 into a pot that was about 850,000. Lucas waited a few seconds and raised all in to put Jones to the ultimate test for his tournament life.

Jones went into the tank and thought it out, rubbing his head and looking pained by the huge decision. Eventually he called.

Lucas revealed the 9♠7♠ for nothing. Jones immediately said "Yes!" and tabled the A♦K♦ for the wheel, good enough for the pot. Several players at the table said "Wow!" unable to believe the call from Jones and complimented him on it as he raked in the humongous pot.
