Jackson White Poker Tournament Updates

White's Stack Continues to Grow

Aug 01, '14

Allen Carter, Jackson White, and a third player took a flop of 555 in a raised pot. The unknown player led the action with a bet of 6,000. Carter called only to have White raise it up to 13,500 from the button. The original bettor let his hand go and Carter called.

The 7 fell on the turn and both players checked, allowing the 10 to complete the board. Carter checked for a second time and White knuckled the table back.

“Ace-high,” said Carter.

It was no good, however, as White tabled 33 for a full house of fives full of treys. White took down the pot and now has about 170,000 in chips. Despite this hit, Carter is still sitting pretty with around 335,000.

Quentin Crossley Eliminated in Controversial Hand

Aug 01, '14

Jackson White checked on the turn with the board reading Q983 and Quentin Crossley bet 21,000. White check-raised to 50,000, which was enough to put Crossley all in and then the cards were tabled before the dealer heard anything audible from Crossley.

Crossley tabled K2 and White showed A10. The dealer asked if Crossley had called and he claimed he never called and that he was mucking his hand face up.

Most of the table claimed that they heard Crossley say “call” and he claimed that he didn’t and that he said “all.” Multiple floors were brought over to hear the arguments from the players involved. When the lead supervisor came over and asked the table if they heard anything, six of the seven other players at the table raised their hand and it was ruled that Crossley was going to be forced to call off the rest of his stack.

Crossley continued to argue that he never called, but to no avail. He called off the rest of his stack drawing dead and White scooped a pot worth just over 120,000 while Crossley headed for the doors.

Four Players Bust on the Bubble!

Aug 04, '13

Three players have busted on the money bubble and here is how each of them fell:

Tim Cable was all in and short stacked with 85 against the A8 of Rob Salaburu. The board fell J962A and Cable was eliminated. He then had to remain seated, hoping for someone else to bust in order to chop some prize money.

In his final hand Jerry Lorett raised to 16,000 preflop and Mohammad Abedi-Arani reraised to 34,000. Lorett moved all in for 115,000 with A-J and Abedi called with Q-J. The board ran out J-8-2-Q-brick and Lorett was eliminated.

Nathan Bjerno got the last of his chips into the middle with the board reading 1066J. He held 10-9 but Donald Thurman had 6-4 for trip sixes and that was it for Bjerno.

Jackson White moved all in under the gun with AQ and Jose Galindo called from middle position with pocket kings. The board fell A547K and a fourth player fell on the bubble.

The four players chopped up the prize money for 81st, 80th, and 79th place, so each of them will take home $2,060.25 in prize money.
