Jorgensen Ascendant

Table two seems to have Theo Jorgensen all over it - he's up to 55k and won two hands in a row while I was hovering in the sector (the Aviation Club is divided into a number of small separate rooms with between four and ten tables apiece).

The first saw him win a small pot from Josh Field who'd bet 1,325 on a flop of {2-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {J-Clubs}, only to pass to Jorgensen's raise (to 3,250). But that was just the appetizer - the main course was a very large pot played in the main against Alexandre Brivot. Brivot made it 300 to go preflop and picked up Jorgensen (again in position) and big blind Jean Rigal.

The flop came {A-Clubs} {5-Spades} {7-Hearts} and both players checked to Jorgensen who bet 600. Rigal called, but Brivot upped it to 2,000. Neither player gave up at this point, however, and they all saw the {10-Spades} turn. Now two checks to Jorgensen again saw bet 5,200, and this time Rigal folded but Brivot called very quickly.

The river: {4-Diamonds}. Check again from Brivot, and Jorgensen bet 14k. Now for the first time in the hand, a long think. Brivot counted down his stack, with and without that 14k, and finally threw it in.

Jorgensen showed {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} for the flopped set, which was good, chipping him up while Brivot now holds 18k.
