Jones Can't Keep up with Iribarren
With just 35 minutes left in the day Yerai Iribarren has taken the chip lead, the Frenchman is up to 170,000 after eliminating Ben Jones in a hand that Mat Frankland said took over 10 minutes.
By the time I arrived at the felt the flop was already out but Frankland told me after the hand had finished that Iribarren (cut-off) had opened Jones had three-bet from the small blind, Iribarren had four-bet to 11,000, Jones had clicked it back to 16,100 and Iribarren had called.
So there was over 32,000 in the pot by the time the flop came down, Jones, who only had around 24,000 back took his time and then bet 5,500, Iribarren needed far less time to make the call. On the turn Jones again went into the tank before moving all-in for what looked like just under 20,000. Iribarren snap called and rolled over for flopped quads, Jones had and was drawing dead.
"Nice hand," he said as the completed the board.
