Big Pot For Just Ace-High

We arrived at the table with the board reading {2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and what we assume was a raise from Sorel Mizzi of an additional 45,000 over the top of a bet from Scott Montgomery.

It didn't take long for Montgomery to respond by moving all in for roughly 19,000 more with Mizzi making the pot-committed call.

Montgomery: {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Mizzi: {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

We were expecting to see some big hands but it was ace-high versus jack-high as both players were drawing!

Mizzi needed a non-club jack or ten to win it, or a non-club five to chop, but the river bricked the {Q-Spades} as Montgomery took down the huge pot with just ace-high.

Mizzi slips to 130,000 as Montgomery is now up to 180,000.
