Jewell the Jammer
James Hess raised to 200,000 on his button and James Jewell made a play that we have rarely seen at this final table: he three-bet, making it 610,000 to go. This reraise put half of Jewell's stack in the pot and Hess asked for a count of his opponent's remaining chips before deciding to make the call.
The flop fell and Jewell jammed the pot, moving all-in for his last 645,000. Even though this may appear to be an automatic call for most internet players, at the Seniors Championship, aggression is respected without question. Hess mucked his hand and Jewell chipped up in a big way with his power play.
