Jorstad Triple Barrels

Dan O'Hair

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Espen Jorstad was three ways on a J♥9♠2♠ flop. The player in the small blind bet 1,300 and Jorstad raised to 5,200 from the big blind. The third player called cold from early position and the initial bettor folded.

Jorstad fired 11,000 into the middle on the 7♥ turn and his opponent again called.

The 2♥ completed the board and Jorstad wagered a hefty 39,000 — sending his opponent deep into the tank.

After several minutes, the clock was called by another player at the table. The floorman counted down and Jorstad's opponent's hand was declared dead.

Jorstad's opponent turned over K♥J♠ after the fact and said, "You have a lot of money, you don't care. That's what I was thinking," as last year's Main Event winner collected the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

As relayed to PokerNews from the first level, Kevin Martin raised to 500 in early position and was called by two players in middle position. The big blind three-bet to 3,700 and only Martin called. The flop came Q♣9♦8♣ and the big blind checked to Martin who bet 3,400 which his opponent called.

The turn was the 9♣ and the big blind checked again. Martin sized up a bet of 10,000 and his opponent still called. The river brought the Q♠ and the big blind checked one more time. Martin reached back for a bet of 25,500 and his opponent tanked for a couple of minutes.

"If it's a bluff, it's a hell of a bluff," the big blind said as he folded. Martin was shipped the pot and turned over 3x3x which got a reaction from the rest of his table.
