Event 18: Min To The Max

$1000 + $90 No Limit Hold'em

Jason Min has build up a nice tournament chip leading stack right around 300,000 and has left the table to take a break.

Right before departing, Ryan Eriquezzo joined the table and chatted it up with Jason.

Jason was telling Ryan how he got most of his chips with 9-3 off.

Jason 3-bet with 9-3 and Opponent 4-bet causing Jason to flat. "I mean I can't just let him win it there." explained Min.

Flop: 10-7-3 with two diamonds.

"He had that look - I know he's empty" said Jason who hit his three and called down his Opponent.

Turn was a J. Another 6,000 into the pot and Jason called.

On the river 4, Jason watched his Opponent think and think, "He finally builds up the courage and stuffs in his last 12,000 - I snap it off with the three and he has A-K."

Great read, great play, great story.

Even Ryan, a fellow maniac seemed impressed.
