Hard to call it off with any hand when a player on the other table has five bigs. Harder when you open 2.2x and Ron Hunt piles in 50 Bigs, covering, with multiple players behind him left to act.
Yes, Brian had AdKd.
Yes, it was the bubble of a $2,200.
It’s easy to say that’s a call. People on the rail, not in that spot always seem to know the best play.
Brian finds a fold, Chris Grove triples up on his table, and several orbits later – it’s Brian holding JJ (the same hand Ron Hunt showed when Brian had folded AK) and he’s out vs the A3o of Joseph Crowley.
Brian will be back for 1B Saturday morning.
