David Jackson began the day with a top-20 stack, but things have not gone well for him in this opening level. A few hands after having his aces cracked by pocket queens, Jackson found queens of his own. Thomas Houghteling got himself all in for 50,500, and Jackson put him at risk on a coin flip.

Jackson: QsQh
Houghteling: AhKh

The board ran out Tc4d3d5c2h, and Houghteling ran down a wheel to double up. Jackson’s stack has been nearly cut in half since the start of play.

Thomas Houghteling – 106,000 (53 bb)
David Jackson – 95,000 (48 bb)
