Tough Call for Van Blarcum

Level 7 : 300/500, 500 ante

Blake Whittington raised in middle position to 1,300 Aaron Van Blarcum called in the cutoff and Stacey Jones called on the button before the blinds got out of the way.

The dealer spread a flop of {j-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Whittington checked, Van Blarcum bet out 2,300 and Jones made the call before Whittington gave it up.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Van Blarcum continued with a bet of 4,600. Jones was faced with a decision and after some friendly banter about his sunglasses, he eventually made the call.

The river was the {6-Clubs} and this time Van Blarcum checked to Jones who fired out a bet of 17,000 putting Van Blarcum to the test. After about 10-seconds Van Blarcum made the call and Jones tabled {a-Spades}{3-Clubs} for ace-high and Van Blarcum scooped the pot when he tabled {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a pair of eights.
