JJProdigy Runs Into Two-Outer

An Unhappy JJProdigy
An Unhappy JJProdigy
On a flop of {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} the heads-up action was checked to Josh "JJProdigy" Field who put 1,225 into the middle. His opponent then check-raised to 3,700, leaving himself around 5,000 behind. Field quickly declared that he was putting his opponent all-in.

His opponent went into the tank in a decision for his tournament life. He eventually made the call and tabled {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} - well behind Field's {K-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for trip nines.

The turn was the {Q-Hearts} leaving Field's opponent with only two cards in the deck to stay alive in the tournament. Miraculously the {8-Diamonds} fell to the gasps of Field and his entourage as the 18,000 pot was shipped to his opponent in unfortunate circumstances.

However Field is still going strong with over 32,000 chips.
