Marc Joseph Jams the Turn

Level 15: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000
Marc Joseph

Three ways to the 7 4 3 flop, the action checks to Nariman Yaghmai and he bets15,000. Marc Joseph check-raises to 41,000 in the big blind and initial preflop raiser Lars Kamphues folds, while Yaghmai calls.


Joseph near instantly jams the Q turn when a second flush draw opens. The shove is for 120,500 and Yaghmai counts out calling chips for nearly half of his stack, ponders about it for half a minute and folds.
