Jacks For Josephy

Claudio Elizalde

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Cliff Josephy raised to 2,800 under the gun, middle position called, and the button called as well.

Three ways to the Q?5?4? and all competitors checked. The turn brought the 7? and Josephy checked again. The player in middle position bet 5,000 and the button folded. Josephy made the call. The river was the 4?, making it so that either player just needed a single diamond to make a flush.

Josephy checked a last time and the player in middle position checked as well.

Shrugging, Josephy turned up J?J? and as his opponent went to fold he said, "Face down, yea... no slow play here."

Middle position faked to turn up a flush, but didn't have the hand to do it. Josephy is now amongst the chip leaders.
