Joyce Hits a Huge River

Jeremy Geist

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante

There was an under the gun open to 7,500 before the action folded to Giorgiy Skhulukhiya in late position, who called before Toby Joyce defended his big blind.

When it was checked to the original raiser, they continued for 8,000 on the 10?6?2? flop. Both players called.

The 6? turn landed and it was checked to the under the gun player again who only took a moment before moving all in for 43,000.

Skhulukhiya called but only had 30,000 behind. The action was then on Joyce who went deep into the tank but eventually he moved in over the top and Skhulukhiya called as he was a bit handcuffed to the pot given the odds.

Under the Gun: 5?5?
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: K?10?
Toby Joyce: Q?10?

Joyce was only drawing to a club or a chop, but lucky for him the dealer put out the K?. That improved Skhulukhiya but ultimately gave Joyce the best hand. He earned the double knockout and a huge pile of chips in the process.
