Welcome Back, Mr. Jha!
Mrityunjay Jha was just seen having re-entered the tournament after a few-hour hiatus from busting his first bullet. He was under the gun and limped in, getting folds from all players behind until Lee Markholt completed his small blind. Peter Park was in the big blind and raised his option to 3,000. Both Jha and Markholt called.
The flop fell and Markholt checked. Park made a continuation-bet of 3,100 and Jha raised to 7,800. With action back on Markholt, he put in a check-raise, three-betting to 15,000. Park quickly folded and Jha looked back at his stack before putting it forward and announcing he was all in. Markholt called.
Mrityunjay Jha:
Lee Markholt:
Jha's ladies were not looking good against Markholt's two pair as he found himself with potentially two cards left in his tournament life. The turn came to give him a total of eight outs to a straight, six more outs to a higher two pair, and the remaining two queens in the deck to give him a set.
The river made Jha's two ladies turn into three, giving him the double shortly after re-entering.
