Rail Calls in the Jack for Hirst
Level 33
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
David Hirst made it 1,000,000 to play from under the gun and was looked up by Thomas Tran in the small blind.
On the 10♣Q♦4♥ flop Tran jammed all in for 4,700,000. Hirst didn't think long and made the call to put Tran at risk.
Thomas Tran: Q♣9♦
David Hirst: J♠J♦
Tran was streets ahead but Hirst could still pull off a miracle to send him packing. the 5♣ on the turn changed nothing.
"Jack, Jack!" pleaded Hirst's newly formed rail as the dealer peeled off the J♣ and gave Hirst a set to send Tran to the cage.
