Team Jager Bubbles The Tag Team Event

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Tag Team Tournament
Tag Team Tournament

Carsten Stolz of Team Jager had lost almost their whole stack when they ran into quads to be left with a mere 500 chips.

"Come play this last hand!" he had shouted to Nicholas Jager.

Jager took his seat and managed to then decuple his stack to 5,000 when he was all-in from the late position with AxAx after a raise from Joseph Bold of Team Quelch in the middle position who held suited Qx7x. Quelch flopped a queen and backdoor flush and straight draws. He also turned a gutshot to a straight but bricked the river for Jager to stay alive.

Then Jager was forced to be all-in in the big blind after paying his big blind of 4,000 and putting the remaining 1,000 in the middle for his ante. Dylan Cechowski raised to 8,000 from the middle position and Goh Yanagida called from the hijack while the rest folded.

The flop came 7QK and both Cechowski and Yanagida checked. They did the same on the 7 on the turn and the 4 on the river.

All three players needed to wait until all the action was completed on the other tables before revealing their cards. While this was happening, Bold and Jager discussed the latter's pocket aces.

"Should you play the aces in that situation?PokerNews should poll that." they both commented.

While they were wondering, the action was all done on the other tables, the players could continue play. They decided to make it exciting. Cechowski first revealed the A10 for Yanagida to show the 55 for two pair. Jager flipped over the A first to not help him and then tabled the 9, which didn't change things.

The rest of the field, teammates, and other spectators on the rail cheered and applauded as they were officially in the money while Jager made his way out of the tournament after a fist bump from Bold.
