Huge Double-Up for Jones
Action was folded to Steven Jones, who made up from the small blind, and Paawan Bansal checked his option in the big blind.
The flop came 7♥6♠A♦, and Jones led out for 120,000, and Bansal called, and the players saw the 4♠ drop on the turn.
Jones led out gain but for 500,000 this time, and again Bansal flat called. The river brought the K♦, and now Jones bet 1,100,000, leaving himself 1,100,000 behind. Bansal went into the tank for a while before he announced that he was all in and had Jones covered.
Now Jones went deeper and deeper into the tank, asking himself various questions and trying to work out what Bansal could be holding. He eventually put in his remaining chips and slammed over 7♣6♥ for two pair. Bansal sheepishly turned over 5♣4♣ for bottom pair, and the pot was shipped to Jones, giving him a full double-up.
