Jewell Gets His Moment in the Spotlight
While Michael Jozoff complained to the table about continually losing three-bet pots to Nir Cohen, Hunter Jewell floated the idea of a swap to Jozoff, who politely declined.
Jewell made his intentions known, saying that he wants to be famous, whereas Jozoff prefers money over fame.
On the next hand, Michael Petrosian opened to 1,600 from middle position and was called by Jewell in the hijack and Craig Pollak in the big blind.
On the A♦8♠6♠ flop, Petrosian continued for 1,500, and Jewell called before Pollak got out of the way.
Petrosian bet again on the 10♦ for 2,200, and Jewell quickly called once more.
The river brought the A♣ as Petrosian led a final time for 5,500, and Jewell opted to just call. Petrosian conceded that he was bluffing, prompting Jewell to reveal 6♦6♣ for a flopped set and rivered full house.
Apart from taking some heat from his tablemates, Jewell hurt his chances for future swapping considerations. However, he finally has gotten the fame he so desperately craved.
