Pugh-Jones Back Above Starting Stack
Level 9
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Gruffudd Pugh-Jones was already awaiting his fate when he was at risk by the time the board showed Q♣8♦4♥8♣. He was up against Jared Bleznick and Santhosh Suvarna, who then checked the 4♠ on the river.
Suvarna exposed the J♦10♣7♣7♥ while Bleznick had missed a straight holding the J♥10♠9♥5♠. Pugh-Jones earned the triple-up with K♦K♠8♠5♥ and was then surprised to find out he had leaped back above the starting stack.
