Jeraj Makes the Pay Jump, Kozah Gets the Chips
On a flop of 3♣K♠9♣, there were around 80,000 chips in the middle when a player bet 30,000, Joseph Kozah made it 170,000, and Mihael Jeraj called, which got the initial better out of the way.
A 6♥ came on the turn and Kozah had already bet 13,000, which was all that Jeraj had remaining in his stack. After looking at the clock, Jeraj noticed that a pay jump was looming and went well into the tank.
"I know you're waiting for a pay jump but you're probably dead," said Kozah.
Eventually, the floor were called to initiate a countdown.
"I'm going to call with one second remaining," said Jeraj to the floor.
"Do I need to say something or is it ok?"
"I would probably say something," replied the floor.
As the clock got to one second, Jeraj made the call.
Mihael Jeraj: A♣5♣
Joseph Kozah: 9♠9♥
Jeraj wasn't quite dead but the 4♦ river didn't help him, which meant he was eliminated. The good news for Jeraj is that he did make the pay jump.
