Button Vs. Small Blind
Jesse Okonczak opened to 80,000 from the button, and Ryan Lenaghan three-bet to 220,000 from the small blind. When it came back to Okonczak, he announced a reraise to 470,000, and Lenaghan instantly announced an all-in five-bet. It took Okonczak about 30-45 seconds to stack out the raise he's announced before he could consider the decision facing him. It would be another minute or two before he called all in for his tournament life, committing his final 1.28 million to the pot. Cards up, gents:
Okonczak:
Lenaghan:
Okonczak stood up to sweat his fate as the dealer ran out the board:
That's safe and sound for his pocket pair, and the eights have earned him a big double up. We've got him at 2.63 million now, while Lenaghan has been knocked all the way down to 805,000.
"I've gotten in three flips today and lost all three," he lamented.
