Action From Actionjack

What you looking at, punk?

From the floor of the Empire Casino...

Paul 'Actionjack' Jackson, who's yet to set the tournament on fire with just 13,700, bumped into me during the break to retell his tales of woe...

"I haven't really played many big pots," said Paul. "Just this one against Matthew Hankins where I limped with {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. The flop came {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, he bet 200 from the small blind, I raised to 500 and he called. The turn came a {10-Clubs} giving me top two pair, but putting a possible flush out there. He checked, I bet 500 and he made it 1,500 to play. I sensed a flush draw, but called hoping to fill up if I was right. The river was a {5-Clubs}, pairing the board and making it four clubs in total. He checked rather dejectedly, so I thought I could take it away from him by betting out 2,500. He thought and thought for ages before calling with the King rag suited for the second nut flush, but I think that was at the very parameter of his calling boundaries."
