Trimmer Jams and Serock Chips Up Some More

Calum Grant

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Julio Trimmer moved all in for 3,400,000 from the button and folded out the blinds for a pick-up.

On the next deal, Nick Jivkov contemplated jamming for his last 1,000,000 from under the gun, but opted to fold. Gerardo Hernandez then opened to 500,000 from middle position and was called by Joe Serock from the hijack.

On the 8♦5♦8♥ flop, Hernandez continued for 425,000, a little larger than the 350,000 continuation-bets that have been the norm on the right feature table thus far. Serock called.

The 7♥ turn saw some straight and flush draws complete and Hernandez checked. Serock fired out 725,000 and folded out his opponent.

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

The board read A♥3♥4♣8♦4♥ and Jesse Capps sat in the big blind when he put a bet of 1,500,000 in front of him. The pot already had approximately 4,000,000 in it when Luis Vazquez from the cutoff put all of his chips in the middle worth 3,275,000.

This sent Capps into a long tank that lasted multiple minutes.

"Sorry guys, I'm going to need a minute."

Gabriel Moura warned Capps he was going to call the clock on him after a minute and so he did. When the 30-second countdown was almost finished, Capps pushed his chips towards the middle to call and he wasn't pleased when Vazquez opened A♠A♦.

"I knew it, bad call. Bad call." Capps said while flicking his cards forward. The dealer exposed his J♥8♥ for a flush and Vazquez doubled up.
