Neaman’s Play

Asher Neaman limped in from under the gun as did Frederik Reusch from the cut off. Ilan Boujenah was on the button and raised it up to 1,125 as the blinds got out of the way. Neaman made the call before Reusch threw out a three-bet to 3,375. Boujenah couldn’t grasp how the hand was playing out and opted to fold. Neaman made the call before both players watched the flop come down 
.
Neaman checked his option before Reusch threw out a continuation bet of 3,000. It was called instantly before the delaer produced the 
on the turn. Neaman checked and Reusch reached for his chips. A bet of 6,050 was pushed into the middle and Neaman confirmed with the dealer what the bet amount was.
He then moved all in over the top for approximately 21,000 in chips and Reusch froze. The bet was too large and he ended up folding his hand.
“Please show me what you had,” begged Boujenah following the hand.
Reusch just grinned and shook his head as Boujenah couldn’t believe what happened.
“I had jacks,” he added, now pondering whether he made the right move.
“I had aces,” replied Neaman, much to the surprise of his two opponents as well as others at the table.
“I didn’t want to scare anyone away with all the raising pre flop,” he ended.
The discussion went on for several minutes as small talk circled the table.
