Big Slick Earns Jones a Victory

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jiang Pu opened to 8,000 from under the gun and Cody Jones three-bet to 30,000 on the button. Pu responded with a four-bet shove all in for around 170,000 and Jones snapped him off.

Jiang Pu: A♠Q♦
Cody Jones: A♥K♣

Jones was in a dominating position and the flop of J♣J♦7♠ left it that way despite some chop possibilities. The 4♥ on the turn and the 2♦ on the river changed nothing and Pu was bounced from the tournament.

Spirins Put to the Test by Foxen

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Alex Foxen opened to 9,000 from the cutoff and was called by Pavel Spirins in the big blind.

Both players checked the 8♦7♣5♥ flop.

The turn came the 10♣ and Spirins bet 14,000, receiving a call from Foxen.

Spirins fired again on the 2♠ river for 36,000. Foxen raised it to 144,000, leaving a single yellow 1,000 chip behind.

Spirins, clearly put on a difficult decision, took about 30 seconds to consider his options before sticking in the call.

Foxen tabled J♣9♣ for the nut straight to receive a full double up while Spirins stack was reduced to slightly less than half of what it was before.
