Jager Takes the Initiative

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Dimitar Danchev opened to 9,000 from early position, which Paul Jager and Stephen Chidwick called in the blinds.

Jager opted to lead out on the 383 flop, putting 12,000 into the middle. Chidwick folded, but Danchev called.

When the 9 turn hit the turn, Jager kept his foot on the gas, putting 35,000 into the middle. Undeterred, Danchev called again.

The 9 completed the board, and the action checked through. Jager tabled 85, and Danchev mucked his hand.
