Jones Puts on His Hero-Calling Cape; Heidel Jams
There was around 420,000 in the pot on the K♦J♦8♠ flop, with the camera crew surrounding the table.
Yassine Adib was in the small blind, and had his 665,000 stack out in front of him, accompanied by the all-in triangle. He had check-jammed on Steven Jones, who was in early position. Jones had a bet of 125,000 in front of him.
"You got a nice hand? asked Jones. "What should I do?"
"I want to double-up," Adib replied, as the two engaged in more chatter.
Jones had around 2,500,000 behind, and decided to wager a portion of that and call.
Yassine Adib: K♣Q♥
Steven Jones: Q♣J♥
Jones found himself way behind and dominated. The 7♦ turn and 6♣ river offered no help to the 2023 WSOP Main Event runner-up and Adib got his wish.
A couple of hands later, Michael McNicholas opened to 120,000 from middle position and was called by Lazare Kalebashvili from the button. Oliver Heidel shoved for 860,000 from the small blind and received two quick folds.
