Williams Takes A Big Hit

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

It has been a roller coaster for Jeff Williams in this level, as he has just lost a big pot after doubling up about 20 minutes ago. Philip Lowery open shoved in middle position for 92,000, and action folded all the way around to Williams in the big blind. Williams counted out the chips for the call, then announced call. When the cards were flipped, Williams saw that he was well behind.

Williams: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Lowery: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

The flop came out {q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{8-Spades}, and Williams was already preparing stacks to hand over to Lowery. The turn gave him a shot at the pot, coming the {9-Clubs}. Williams would need a jack to complete his unlikely straight, and while the river was paint, it was the {q-Spades}. Lowery doubled up to 190,000, while Williams dropped down to 90,000 after the hand.
