Monster Pot for Jamal
Y. Jamal raised under the gun, and David Miscikowski bumped it up to 158,000. Steve Billirakis smooth called, and action was back to Jamal. He made four-bet to 477k total. Miscikowski responded by announcing he was all in for close to 2 million. Billirakis ducked out, and Jamal snap called with a stack very close to Miscikowski's. Uhoh.
Showdown
Jamal:
Miscikowski:
The flop came . Jamal gave a half fist pump when he saw his set, but then realized that Miscikowski had traded two outs for eight straight outs. Unable to watch, Jamal put his head down on the felt. The on the turn filled his boat and should have ended his sweat, but he refused to look up to see it. The on the river was irrelevant.
"Sir, do you want color for that or do you want all the chips?" the floor asked him. "All the chips!" said an elated, slightly shaking Jamal, though he eventually changed his mind when he saw how much real estate the stacks would cover.
After both stacks were counted, Jamal moves close to the front of the pack with 4.2 million. Miscikowski was forced to stay at the table with 12,000.
