Josh Field Fails to Fade the Deck
A player raised to 375 from under-the-gun and another player in middle position three-bet all-in for his last 2,000. Josh Field looked down and saw the prettiest sight in poker: . He made the easy call and the original bettor quickly got out of the way.
The all-in player showed down and found himself crushed by Field's aces. The flop fell and the opponent had paired his queen, but was still trialing badly in the hand. After the came on the turn, the opponent stood up to acknowledge his defeat and prepared to depart the table.
River:
The reverse-jinx had worked to perfection and the player yelled in triumph after he spiked his miracle card on the river. The loss dropped Field to a little over 10,000 in chips, which is still a healthy stack midway through the first day of action.
