I Think He Looked First This Time

Jamie Pickering

A short-stacked Jamie Pickering, runner-up in Event No. 19, the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha event, just pushed his last 3,875 in preflop with {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} and got called by a player holding {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

The board came {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{10-Spades}, and Pickering doubled up to over 8,000.

Perhaps the player holding {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts} had heard about Pickering's having repeatedly raised pot in the dark at the end of Event No. 19.
