Kalev Gets Jam Through on Break
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Nick Pupillo opened to 8,000 from the hijack, with Ethan Yau and Yuan Yilu calling from the cutoff and button.
Sean Ragozzini then put in the three-bet to 65,000, prompting Petar Kalev to move all in for 220,500 from the big blind. Action folded back to Ragozzini, who began wrestling with himself on whether to call or fold.
The hand played well into the break, and after agonizing over the decision, Ragozzini folded, and Kalev took in the pot.
"Jacks?" asked Kalev.
"I had jacks," said Yilu, who got away from the premium hand for cheap.
Kalev and Ragozzini briefly tried to find out what each other's holdings were, but both players kept their lips sealed.
