Jumalon Smacks the Turn to Double

Tim Baker

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Andrew Yeh raised to 80,000 from the hijack and Lucas Jumalon called on the button. Lauri Saaskilahti also came along from the small blind before Ibrahim Naim squeezed to 1,300,000 from the big blind, leaving himself around 600,000 behind.

Yeh folded, and Naim then ripped it in over the top, covering both players. Saaskilahti got out of the way, and Jumalon made the call after securing the pay jump.

Lucas Jumalon: A♠J♠ All in
Ibrahim Naim: A♦K♣

Jumalon was in rough shape and needed a jack or some spades to keep his Main Event hopes alive.

The 6♦5♣7♣ flop provided no help, but the J♥ on the turn was exactly what Jumalon was looking for as he paired his jack to take the lead.

The 7♠ river changed nothing, and Jumalon's Main Event run continued.

Congya Zhang opened to 80,000 from under the gun and John Weiss called from middle position. Action went back around to Martin Sgrilletti in the big blind who three-bet jam for their last 470,000 and Zhang opted to call. Weiss called behind, and the players went three-ways to the flop.

Action checked through the A♦ river to showdown and all three players flipped their cards.

Martin Sgrilletti: 8♣8♠ All in
Congya Zhang: A♠Q♥
John Weiss: Q♠Q♦

Sgrilletti was first to show his eights, which was soon overruled by Zhang's pair of aces. Zhang picked up the pot after Weiss tabled his pocket queens, leaving Sgrilletti to hit the rail.

Phillip Mighall raised to 90,000 under the gun, holding A♦10♦. Allan Sannier called K♣Q♠ on the button, and the two saw a flop of A♥9♥J♠ flop appear, on which Mighall continued for 100,000, and Mighall called.

Sannier put ultimate pressure on his opponent with an all-in bet. Mighall gave it some thought, but ultimately folded his top pair to leave himself just under 50 big blinds.
