Jones Wins Checkdown
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Steven Jones raised in early position and after just a slight hesitation, called Ren Lin's cutoff raise to 1,800,000.
Rin asked Jones how many chips he had behind. After joking that all of his chips were headed towards the pot, Jones said he had about five million worth.
To the flop the pair went in what had the looks of being an explosive hand. It wasn't.
The flop 9♣2♠5♦ brought a check from each, as did the turn 9♦ and river 4♣.
Jones showed K♠Q♣ and all Lin could do was laugh, spank his hand and muck his cards.
