$560 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)

Level 8: Blinds 300/600/75 ante

Five players put 1,500 in the pot to see the flop fall .   It was checked to the player in seat 8, who bet 3,600.  LaVonne Joyce (button) folded, then John Pappas (sb) jammed for ~13k.

Everyone else got out of the way and seat 8 called, showing for top pair.  John was behind and in bad shape holding for the same pair with weak kicker.  He needed a Ten or runner-runner to make a straight.

The turn was the and no help, then the 3-outer came on the river, giving John two pair and the pot.  Thanks to the dead money in the pot, he more than doubled up to ~35k.
