Balleur Makes the Pay Jump

Jacob Wilson
Jacob Wilson
Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Gaetan Balleur opened to 1,100,000 from the cutoff, leaving just 75,000 behind. Brian Brackett then made it 2,000,000 to go from the small blind, and Balleur began to tank on a pay jump. A player was eliminated at another table, and Balleur called off.

Gaetan Balleur: A♥8♠ All in
Brian Brackett: 8♥8♦

It was bad news for Balleur, and the best sweat that he got was chop outs on the 7♥5♦9♥ flop. The 7♦K♣ runout left him with nothing, apart from the $400 he earned for his brief pause.
