Jonesin' for an Eight Ball
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 9: Blinds 1,000/1,500/1,500
The player in middle position moved all in preflop for around 10,000 and then after some pause, Dylan Lemery shoved over the top for more. Michael Jones then pushed his stack into the middle too and all three players tabled their cards, with Lemery covering.
Middle Position: A♦A♣
Michael Jones: 8♥8♣
Dylan Lemery: Q♥Q♦
The short stack was in a great position to triple up and leave a nice side pot for Lemery, but the flop of 5♣3♠8♦ quickly put a wrench in those plans as Jones took a big lead with his top set of eights. The runout of 4♦J♣ failed to provide a queen or an ace and Jones was awarded the pot while the short stack was sent to the rail.
