On a board of 2♠ J♥ 3♣ 4♠ and a 2,500 pot– already big in this opening level– a cut-off player check-called Jun Javalera’s bet of 2,000.
The same CO player check-called Javalera on the river A♦ and was shown the bad news: Javalera had J♠ J♣ for the top set and he takes down the pot and his opponent mucked his hand.
Javalera becomes one of our early chip leaders climbing to around 25,000 minutes away from the opening deal.
