Another Scalp for Lonis
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Chongxian Yang limped in from the hijack, and Jarrett Olivas did the same in the cutoff. Those limps tempted Zachary Grech to do the same in the small blind, but Jesse Lonis spoiled the party in the big blind, raising to 12,500. Yang and Olivas called, but Grech folded.
The action checked through on the 7♣4♥10♥ flop, but Lonis picked his betting lead back up on the 2♠ turn, betting full pot, 42,500. Yang folded, but Olivas moved all in for 97,500, and Lonis snap-called.
Jarrett Olivas: A♣8♠4♠2♣
Jesse Lonis: J♠10♠9♥7♦
Olivas had improved to two pair on the turn, but was behind the flopped two pair of Lonis.
The Q♦ completed the board, offering Olivas no help, and confirming his elimination.
