button in SafariThe Gorilla Strikes Again
Jesse Lonis has been on a wild roller coaster ride that had seen his large stack of 4.8 million reduced to only 70,000, then he more than doubled, doubled again and ... now even more than that.
Ian Matakis raised to 275,000 from under the gun for almost the full pot and Karel Mokry then potted to 960,000. Out of the small blind, Martin Zamani vividly declared "POT" when it was on him and Lonis called all-in for around 880,000. Matakis quickly folded while Mokry did so after long consideration.
Zamani joked with friends on his rail that he is up "against the gorilla" when the cards were turned over.
Jesse Lonis: J♣9♠7♠4♣ 
Martin Zamani: A♠A♥K♦8♣
The board ran out Q♦8♠2♣3♣6♣ and Lonis hit a flush to more than triple up.
A short while after this hand when Lonis had walked away from the table, he jokingly said "well that was fun".
