Engel's Five-Bet With King-Jack Pays Off Before Break

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

We found Ari Engel in the hijack with a three-bet of 16,500 in front of him after his neighbor opened to 5,500. That player made it 39,500 to go, and Engel used a time extension in response. He said he was all in, and his opponent double-checked his holding and called for about 135,000.

Engel: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The {4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop did nothing for either player, but the {j-Hearts} caused Engel's opponent to mutter something in his native tongue. A {j-Spades} finished out the board for good measure.

Players went on a 20-minute break afterward.
