Jenkins Scores A Double Knockout

Chris Land

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

Giovanni Petroni jammed from late position for his last 230,000 and Robert Urbatsch three-bet jammed from the button for 1,015,000. Timothy Jenkins woke up with a hand in the big blind and called to set up a three-way runout with Petroni and Urbatsch at risk.

Giovanni Petroni: K?9?
Robert Urbatsch: A?A?
Timothy Jenkins: J?J?

Urbatsch was in great position to win a massive pot and more than double up and the 9?3?3? flop didn't change that, but when the turn came the J?, suddenly he needed one of the last two aces in the deck to survive.

The river was no such help, though, as it came the 7? and secured over a 2,000,000 chip pot for Jenkins to catapult him into the chip lead while Petroni and Urbatsch stood to head toward the exit.
