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: AJAll in
James Smith: AK

Smith had Wedell dominated, but the flop reversed their positions when it came J10A. 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.
