Bogdanov Wins Big Pot With Jacks

Yulian Bogdanov opened to 85,000 from early position and was called by Joshua Ray in the hijack. Dean Morrone then three-bet from the cutoff to 260,000 and action folded back around to Bogdanov, who called. Ray then announced he was all in.

Tablemate Antonio Esfandiari added commentary after the shove about how it was an unexpected turn of events. Meanwhile, action was on Morrone and he went into the tank for a bit. He then asked for a count which was totaled to around 1.2 million and thought for a bit more before folding. It wasn't long after that Bogdanov had called and both remaining players were tabling their hands.

Yulian Bogdanov:
Joshua Ray:

Ray's attempt at four-bet squeezing over a three-bet and a call found himself in a dominated situation. The board ran out and Bogdanov's jacks remained best to Ray's unimproved ace-high as he was eliminated from the tournament and sent to join his friends on the rail.
