Colvin Busts Last Year's Regional Champion

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

We stumbled by Matthew Colvin's table and noticed he was sitting with a big stack of 49,000 and that A.J. Jejelowo was missing from his seat. A quick check with Colvin confirmed that he busted last year's WSOP Circuit Harrah's New Orleans Regional Champion.

According to Colvin, Jejelowo opened for 300 and he three-bet to 800. Jejelowo then four-bet 2,500, Colvin called and the flop came down queen high with two diamonds. Jejelowo led out for 2,700, Colvin raised to 6,000 and Jejelowo shoved. Colvin made the call with {Q-}{Q-} for top set and was ahead of the {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} pair and flush draw of Jejelowo. The turn and river both blanked and Colvin took down the big pot while eliminating a tough competitor.
