Aces Good for England at Showdown
Jim Morrison limped in early position and saw Stacey Jones raise to 2,000 in the hijack. Steve WIlkie called in the cutoff and then Kyna England three-bet to 4,500 in the big blind. Morrison, Jones, and Wilkie all called, and the four went to a flop of where England announced a continuation-bet of 12,500. Only Jones called.
Action was then heads up to the turn . England announced a check and Jones bet 16,000. England called, and then both players checked through the river to take the hand to showdown.
Jones showed upon checking back, but his nines up were bested by England's that was put onto the felt for all to see.
"Whew!" remarked England, pantomiming to wipe sweat from her forehead as she did so. The pot was then sent her way and she stacked her newly-earned chips, bringing her up to over 140K in the process.
