Jones Knows

Amon Filippi got the action started in a recent hand by raising it up to 1,200 from middle position. The only other player willing to come along for the ride was Rhys Jones in the big blind.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Jones checked to the bettor. Filippi then fired out 2,600. Jones made the call and both players were off to the turn.

The {7-Diamonds} landed on the turn and we saw a repeat of action with Jones check-calling a bet of 6,700 from Filippi. The {3-Diamonds} on the river saw Jones check for the third time, and Filippi check for the first time. Cards were then turned over, and it appeared Jones managed to get there on the river.

Jones exposed {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for the straight while all Filippi could muster up was {2-Spades}{2-Clubs} for a set of twos.
