Jones Takes a Small Hit With Aces
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Steven Jones raised to 1,000 from the cutoff and Salim El Mamouni called in the small blind.
The flop came 10?5?4? and Jones continued for another 1,000. El Mamouni called and both players checked the 10? turn.
Jones bet 1,000 again on the 5? river and El Mamouni called. Jones then turned over A?A?, but El Mamouni had A?5? for a rivered full house.
"It just kept getting worse. I was like, I can't beat anything," the WSOP runner-up said as he and El Mamouni shared a laugh.
Jones is currently sharing a star-studded table that also includes Michael Wang and Mark Teltscher, both sitting on around 20,000.
