Jaster Gets New Life
Level 15
Chris Jaster was all in from the small blind on a board of 4?9?7?9?9? and up against Tom Schneider in the cutoff and an opponent in early position.
The river came the 9?. "Dammit," Jaster said as he slammed his cards down and got up from his seat. Schneider and the early-position player checked down and Schneider opened up A?6?5?3? for ace-high.
Jaster, though, turned over A?J? for ace-high, jack-kicker, which proved to be the best hand as the early-position player mucked. Jaster let out a sigh of relief and sat back down in his chair.
"Remember this hand when this guy goes on to win the tournament," a tablemate said as Jaster tripled up.
