Jorgensen Wins Biggest Pot Of The Tournament
Hand #89: Mikael Guenni takes the blinds and antes with a 135,000 raise.
Hand #90: Theo Jorgensen opened to 135,000 from the cutoff, before Antoine Amourette made it 325,000 from the button. Jorgensen has been a little unhappy with both Guenni and Fabrice Touil as he feels they take far too long to make decisions and tank with every hand. This became clear once more as Jorgensen said to Amourette that he felt the latter was taking too much time. Touil folded and Jorgensen sighed and said slightly frustrated, "I'm all-in."
It was 1,315,000 more to Amourette who had Jorgensen covered. The Frenchman, who had the clock called on him said with 30 seconds left, "I'm going to gamble, I call."
"Well, I'm ahead then..." said Jorgensen turning over to Amourette's .
The flop came and Jorgensen rolled off his possible scare cards he did not want to see, "No three, no six, no seven, no eight," before calling for a diamond, forgetting the board had paired.
The turn helped neither but the river sealed Jorgensen and the tournament's biggest pot of about 3.3 million. Amourette has about 600,000 left.
