Ron Jenkins Eliminated in 25th Place ($21,125)
Aug 27, '08
In one of the biggest pots of the tournament, Philip Stark raised to 36,000 on the button and Ron Jenkins made the call from the small blind. Sitting in the big blind, Amit Makhija reraised to 100,000, getting Stark to fold.
Jenkins made the call and the flop came down J65. Despite just calling preflop, Jenkins bets 120,000. Makhija raises him to 260,000 and Jenkins calls.
The turn is the 5 and Jenkins moves all in. Makhija instantly calls and shows AJ, but needs to fade a few outs when Jenkins reveals 97 for a gutshot and a flush draw.
The river is the 9, and Makhija is shipped the 1.6 million pot. Jenkins is eliminated in 25th place.
