Hoang Busts Jacon

Richard Hayes

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A player opened to 2,200 from early position and was called by the player in the next seat, Chuc Hoang on the button and Franck Jacon in the big blind.

On the J?6?5? flop, action was checked to Hoang, who put out a bet of 4,500, only to be faced with an all-in check-raise by Jacon to 14,500.

Both of the other opponents folded, and Hoang made the quick call after checking the amount of the all-in.

Franck Jacon: 8?7? All in
Chuc Hoang: J?9?

Jacon had an up and down straight draw versus Hoang's top pair, and insufficient help arrived on the K? turn or 8? river, Hoang's pair of jacks taking the pot versus Jacon's pair of eights.
