Munjal Can't Get Away from Jacks and Busts

Chris Bean

Level 24 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Avneesh Munjal bet 350,000 from the hijack, leaving only 20,000 behind. Armando Mesina made the call from the button.

The flop came A?4?3? and Mesina bet 20,000 to put Munjal all in. Munjal took his time hoping to secure a pay jump before committing his chips.

Derek Normand, sitting on the right of Munjal, quipped "So what you are saying is, you are practically drawing dead?" to the amusement of his tablemates. Two minutes passed by before someone mentioned the clock and Munjal put his chips in before the floor could be called.

Avneesh Munjal: J?J?
Armando Mesina: A?K?

Normand was right with his assessment, as Munjal could only hit a jack to win the pot, and just like the Spice Girls, two become one as the 6? meant Munjal's only out was the jack of diamonds. The 6? completed the board and Munjal headed to the pay desk.
