Big Hands:
Fox Takes a Hit Doubling Up an Opponent
While in the big blind, Stuart Fox faced an all in raise of 47,000 more from his opponent on the button. Fox made the call and turned over A
J
, a raise against his opponent’s 3
3. The flop brought what Fox was undoubtedly dreading, 103
2. The Kc on the turn gave some hope of an inside straight, but the 5 on the river failed to deliver.
Brent Hanks Makes the Call of the Day, Eliminates Alan Jaffray
On a board of AQ106, Brent Hanks found himself put to the test by Alan Jaffray. After making a bet, Hanks was raised all in by Jaffray for an additional 66,300 in chips. Hanks went into the tank and deliberated silently for several minutes while Jaffray waited patiently for his opponent to make a decision. Hanks looked and Jaffray and tried to explain his dilemma by saying, “I could be drawing dead if I make this call.” Hanks counted out 66,300 from his stack and paused for a few moments before announcing a call. Jaffray turned over KK, a semi-bluff with a king-high flush draw and an inside straight draw. Hanks pumped his fist as he turned over A9 for one pair, aces. The 3 came on the river, and Hanks immediately stood up to shake Jaffray’s hand.
Brogdon Makes a Laydown to an Opponent’s Aggression
Edward Brogdon raised to 9,000 from his position in the cut-off, and the action folded to his opponent in the big blind. After asking how much Brogdon had behind the raise, the big blind just called. The flop came AA8, and the big blind checked. Brogdon continued the aggression by making a bet of 14,000, which was called by his opponent. Both players checked when the 6 fell on the turn. The dealer put down the 9 as the river, and the big blind led out with a bet of 20,000. After deliberating for several minutes, Brogdon ultimately folded his pocket jacks face up.
