Hansen Avoids the Lonis Jinx
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Aksel Hansen raised to 50,000 in the cutoff before Maxi Lehmanski moved all in from the big blind. Hansen called for 185,000.
Aksel Hansen: K♣K♣J♦10♦
Maxi Lehmanski: A♠Q♣5♠2♣
The K♦Q♥J♥ flop gave Hansen top set and a big lead in the pot. "It's going to be hard for you to lose this one," Jesse Lonis told him, and Hansen indeed held up through the 4♥ turn and 5♦ river to double up.
"I really thought you were going to jinx him," Martin Zamani told Lonis.
