Jackson Gets There to Send Shenmolesky Packing
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Everyone folded to David Jackson in the small blind. With Maxwell Shenmolesky sitting short in the big blind, Jackson took a quick peek at his cards and raised for about 400,000, putting Shenmolesky to the test. After checking his own hand, Shenmolesky made the call, what was his all-in.
"I only saw a queen," Jackson admitted.
Maxwell Shenmolesky: A♥4♥
David Jackson: Q♦2♦
When Jackson revealed the deuce, he laughed and added, "Diamond!"
The flop came Q♥3♦4♣, giving both players a pair, but Jackson had the better of it. The 5♦ on the turn brought a flush draw for Jackson, narrowing Shenmolesky’s hopes. The 8♦ on the river completed the flush, sending Shenmolesky to the rail as Jackson scooped the pot.
