Jatho Doubles Through Lenaghan

Ed Jatho

Ed Jatho has just increased his chances of fulfilling his final table prophecy by doubling up through Ryan Lenaghan. On a board showing {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Lenaghan led out with a continuation bet and Jatho made the call.

The {Q-Clubs} fell on the turn and both players knuckled the table, opting to see a free river, which was the {3-Clubs}. Lenaghan checked once more, passing the action to Jatho who announced, "I'm all in."

The dealer counted down Jatho's remaining stack, which amounted to 23,100, and Lenaghan dove into the tank. When he emerged, Lenaghan made the call and Jatho tabled a pocket pair of sixes.

"You're good," said Lenaghan as he tossed his cards into the muck, left with just ~13,000 in chips.

After the hand, Matt Stout and others at the table were shaking their heads in apparent disbelief.
