Jager Bombs the River

Dan O'Hair

Level 2 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Three ways on a flop of 4♠K♣10♠ with over 30,000 in the middle, Paul Jager checked from middle position, Stephen Chidwick checked from the hijack, and Vinny Lingham checked from the cutoff.

The A♥ came on the turn and Jager wagered 15,000. Chidwick called and Lingham got out of the way.

Jager fired 80,000 into the middle after the J♣ landed on the river and Chidwick let his hand go after a bit of thought.
