Deuces Never Lose for Joeckel
Level 16
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jordan Joeckel had shoved from the early position for 89,000, Luther Tran called in the hijack, and action folded to Galen Hall in the small blind who three-bet to 255,000. The big blind and Tran both folded so the cards could go on their backs.
Jordan Joeckel: 
Galen Hall: 
The flop came 
for Hall to stay ahead with the higher pocket pair.
The turn was the 
for Joeckel to turn a set but it also gave Hall some extra outs to a flush.
The river completed the board with the 
which gave Hall a flush but as it paired the board, Joeckel improved to a full house to stay alive and double up.
