The Joke is on Jackson

Adam Lamers

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

After a couple of preflop raises, David Jackson and Khanthaly Vixaythong got all of their chips in the middle with Jackson being at risk for 271,000. Vixaythong was the last to stick in his chips but turned over the best hand.

David Jackson: A♦K♦ All in
Khanthaly Vixaythong: A♥A♣

The flop came A♠4♠2♣ and Vixaythong celebrated after flopping a set of aces. The 4♥ on the turn locked things up and Jackson was eliminated on the 9♦ river.

"Joke's on you, David Jackson!" Vixaythong shouted.

"The joke is definitely on David Jackson this hand," Ryan Wolfson confirmed.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jesse Lonis started things off with a raise to 22,000 in middle position and Christopher Lastiwka ripped all in for 177,000 on his left. Jeremy Eyer also ripped all in for 179,000 on the button and Lonis asked for a count before laying his hand down.

Christopher Lastiwka: A♦K♣ All in
Jeremy Eyer: A♣Q♥

Lastiwka was in a dominating position and the board of 8♦4♠3♠3♥2♠ changed nothing, leaving Eyer with just 2,000 chips after the hand. It didn't take long as Eyer was seen leaving his seat after the next hand.

The turn brought the 8♦ and Kliper announced all in as the big stack. Tosoc was put to the test for his remaining 249,000 chips and made the call.

Ryan Tosoc: A♦Q♥ All in
