Sell Wins a Nice One Preflop
Andrew Johnson was in the hijack and saw action folded to him. He opened to 6,000 and received calls from Jason Sell in the cutoff, Paul Hickerson on the button, and the small blind. Action was then on Steve Wazwaz, who was in the big blind and three-bet to 26,000, Johnson folded to put action back onto Sell, who did not act immediately.
"Twenty-six thousand," said the dealer, making sure Sell knew the situation. He was indeed well aware, taking another 10 seconds before announcing he was all in. Action folded back to Wazwaz and he let his hand go without much deliberation.
Sell flashed two cards with visible paint on both of them.
"Queens?" Wazwaz asked. Sell confirmed. "Poket sixes," added Wazwaz, letting him know the hand he had folded as Sell raked in the pot without seeing a flop.
