Morozovs Wins "Jackpot Hand"; Hoening Earns Three Quarters Off Josephy
"Jackpot hand, wow ... so sick," Mike Matusow said when an all-in contest unfolded on his table. Mihails Morozovs was up against Eric Rabl and both had near identical stacks in the middle.
The reason for the outburst of Matusow was rather simple, as two one-outers happened during the hand itself.
Morozovs was in there with the A♥5♠4♥4♦ against the A♠A♦J♦6♥ of Rabl and flopped fours full of deuces on 4♣2♣2♥. The case ace came with the A♣ turn but the 4♠ river gave Morozovs quads fours for the scoop.
Soon after on the same table, Cliff Josephy got it in for piles against Ryan Hoenig with the latter at risk for 183,000 on the K♣6♣3♥ flop.
Ryan Hoenig: A♣8♦4♣2♦
Cliff Josephy: A♠A♦Q♥2♥
Josephy was ahead with his aces while both had the nut low draw but the 7♣ turn improved Hoenig to a flush, the 7♦ river completed the low and ensured three-quarters for Hoenig.
