Having not won a hand since he joined the tournament Jason found himself all in, during a 6-card hand. On the big blind, the player to his immediate left raised and there were three callers, enabling Jason to move all in for his last 23,000 chips.
Five players saw a flop of 4♥A♥8♠, the first two callers checked, while the third, Alexandru But, fired out a bet, which left him heads up with Jason.
Jason K♦K♣Q♠10♣7♥4♦
Alexandru A♣10♦10♥5♣4♣2♥
Alexandru was well in front, Jason called for a picture card, to make things interesting, but the board ran out 5♦7♦ and Jason hit the rail. Alexsandru is now a significant chip leader, with around 320,000 at this early stage of the flight.
The total field has now grown to 176, with 44 entries today. Jason is mulling over having a third bullet and there’s still over an hour for him to make that decision before registration closes.
