Jean LeBlond limped in on the button and David Jackson raised to 55,000 out of the big blind. LeBlond called and the flop was Jh9h9c.

Jackson checked and LeBlond moved all in for 511,000. Jackson went into the tank for several minutes and talked to himself about whether or not he wanted to gamble for it all.

“I think I have the best hand,” said Jackson. “Should I gamble for it? What would you do?”

LeBlond never responded to Jackson’s table talk and after several minutes in the tank, Jackson called. LeBlond showed Ah2h and Jackson was visibly distraught with his call as he showed KdQc.

The turn was the 5c and the river was the 7c. LeBlond doubled up with ace-high and takes a massive chip lead over Jackson.

“I really thought you had like ten-eight or queen-ten,” said Jackson.

Jean LeBlond – 1,138,000 (57 bb)
David Jackson – 230,000 (11 bb)
