JohnnyBax Gets Caught, Then Gets Some Back

Cliff Josephy
Cliff Josephy

We caught up with the action on the river of a big hand between Cliff Josephy and Samuel Dickson. There was already about 50,000 in the middle and the board read {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} when JohnnyBax bet 30,000. Dickson snap-shoved, and Bax didn't have to do much thinking before he folded. Dickson showed {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} for a seven-high straight as he scooped the pot and jumped to 170,000. "Good fold," Dickson said. "Well, I had nine-high." He tweeted a few minutes later that he'd had {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and had bricked just about every draw in the book.

Josephy was down to 20,900 after the failed bluff, and he moved all in from early position the next hand with {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. Jesse Yaginuma called with {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Bax took the lead on the {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop, but Yaginuma picked up a straight draw. He didn't hit though, and after the {7-Clubs} turn and {6-Hearts} river, Josephy doubled up to 47,000.
