Lijo Makes the Pay Jump
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
With 184 players remaining and the next pay jump coming after one more elimination, Julen Lijo moved all in for 69,000 from an early position but did not appear too pleased about it. Abraham Serrano was on his immediate left mulling over his options, and while that happened, a player on another table had busted to Lijo's delight. Serrano called and the cards went on their backs.
Julen Lijo: A?4?
Abraham Serrano: A?J?
Lijo boosted his chances of making the next pay jump, which comes when 143 players remain, as he paired his four on the 8?6?4? flop. The 6? turn did bring in some counterfeit outs but the 2? river ensured his survival.
