Andrian Plays It Safe

Calum Grant

Level 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Anson Tsang opened to 42,000 from the hijack and Simone Andrian called from the button.

Andrian called for 25,000 on the A♥J♣7♣ flop before the J♦ turn and 8♣ river checked through to showdown.

Tsang tabled A♣4x for aces and jacks but Andrian had J♠10♠ for trip jacks.

Andrian said he didn't want to face a jam and Tsang pointed to his A♣, the nut-flush blocker, indicating it was river raise was possible.
