Joly Takes a Pot
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
With roughly 39,000 chips in the pot, Philippe Joly checked from under the gun to Michael Bellomonte in the cutoff on a flop of 5♠7♥5♥. Bellomonte checked behind.
The turn brought the 4♠, and Joly fired 16,000. Bellomonte quickly called.
When the 5♣ tripped the board on the river, Joly continued his aggression with a bet of 50,000. Bellomonte went deep into the tank before eventually making the call.
Joly tabled J♣J♥ for a full house and dragged the pot, while Bellomonte mucked.
