Monster Pot Between the Big Stacks
Level 26
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Action folded to Kurt Jewell in the hijack and he raised to 68,000. Sam Barnhart made the call from the cutoff while John Nguyen decided to reraise to 250,000 from the button. After the blinds folded, Jewell played back at Nguyen with a raise to 468,000. Barnhart wisely got out of the way and Nguyen made the call, creating a pot worth nearly one million.
When the flop came down , Jewell immediately bet out 368,000, which Nguyen called. The dealer proceeded to burn and turn the and Jewell check-called a bet of 550,000 from Nguyen. Both players then checked the river and Jewell showed for queens and fours with an ace kicker. Nguyen mucked, dropping to 800,000, while Jewell took down the massive pot and chipped up to 4.7 million.
