Williams Moves In

Before the flop, an older gentleman on the button started the action with a raise to 3,800. Next to act was small blind Jon Williams, and he announced a re-raise, stacking out 10,500 chips. When the big blind folded, the button re-checked his hole cards and made the flat call.

Heads up then, the flop came out {8-Spades} {6-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}. Without hesitation, Williams moved all in for his remaining 21,600 chips. His opponent furrowed his brow and shot a glance over at Williams. Catching his eye, Williams quietly said, "I think we have the same type of hand." That seemed to do it, as his opponent took one last look at his hole cards, flashed them to Williams, and passed them back to the dealer face-down. It's not clear what two cards he showed, but Williams turned over {7-Clubs} {7-Spades}, and his opponent nodded knowingly.

Jon "Lips" Williams is up to 44,000.
