Jack Saves Wedell

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

An all-in clash occurred between Johsua Wedell and James Smith when the two players put their chips in preflop with Wedell at risk.

Joshua Wedell: A♠J♣All in
James Smith: A♥K♦

Smith had Wedell dominated, but the flop reversed their positions when it came J♦10♥A♦. Smith was unable to regain the lead when the 8♦ turn and the 4♠ river came out to double Wedell.

"That wasn't fun," said Smith after the loss.
