Linchesky Takes on the Newcomer and the World Champ
Level 19
: 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Robert Linchesky was just involved in a pot against two opponents from opposite sides of the poker spectrum. One, Joe McKeehen, is the 2015 Main Event champ. The other, Todd Rones, is playing his first-ever poker tournament.
McKeehen opened the pot with a raise and both Linchesky and Rones called. McKeehen continued on the 
flop and both opponents called.
The turn came the 
and McKeehen bet again. Linchesky raised, Rones folded, and McKeehen called. Both players checked the 
river.
Linchesky showed 
for two pair, kings and jacks, and the world champ and three-time bracelet winner mucked.
