Jones' Kings are Good
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Steven Jones raised 80,000 in the hijack, and Anirban Das called on the button before Philip Almond defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of Q♥7♥5♦, and Almond checked to Jones who continued for 125,000. Das made the call but Almond pitched his cards into the muck.
The 4♣ hit the turn before Jones tossed a bet of 275,000 in the middle and Das quickly called.
When the 10♣ river hit the felt, Jones checked and Das checked back.
"Queen," said Das as he tabled KxQx.
Jones responded, "No good," as he showed K♦K♠.
