Jejelowo Nearing Seven Figures

AJ Jejelowo
AJ Jejelowo

A.J. Jejelowo opened to 9,000 on the button and Derek Gregory three-bet to 26,000 from the big blind. Jejelowo came right back over the top to 66,000, Gregory called, and the flop fell {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

Both checked to see the {9-Hearts} turn where Gregory fired 65,000. A call from Jejelowo landed the {6-Diamonds} river. Gregory checked it to Jejelowo who promptly slid out about 340,000, putting Gregory to the test for his remaining 180,000-ish.

After about two minutes in the tank, Gregory gave it up.
