Level 17
Jesse Lonis
Jesse Lonis

No-Limit Hold'em

Jesse Lonis and Matt Glantz went to the turn on a board of A♦7♠5♥K♠ when Lonis bet 140,000 from under the gun. Glantz then moved all in, and Lonis called for 400,000.

Glantz showed A♠J♥ for top pair, but Lonis had him dominated with A♣Q♣. The river was the 6♣ and Lonis doubled up.

The next hand at this table, Josh Arieh raised to 45,000 in the hijack and Jason Mercier three-bet to 140,000 in the cutoff. Arieh called, and the flop came J♦10♥9♦.

Mercier then bet 110,000, and Arieh called. Both players checked the 9♥ turn.

The river was the A♠ and Mercier bet 340,000. Arieh tanked for several minutes before calling, and Mercier showed K♥Q♣ for the straight to win the pot.
