Jack Ury Avoids Disaster

Jack Ury

Four players saw a flop of {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}. At 96 years young, Jack Ury led out from the big blind for 3,000. A player under the gun called and the other two players in the hand got out of the way.

The turn paired the board with the {5-Clubs} and Ury bet again, this time for 5,000. His opponent made the call.

The river brought the {K-Spades} . Ury checked and his opponent moved all in for 11,400, just a few hundred more than Ury had in his stack.

Ury asked for a count from his opponent, several times, until he was finally able to hear the tally.

After a few moments he mucked his hand. The player under the gun flashed pocket aces to which Ury replied "i had a pocket pair too."

Jack Ury - 10,675.
