David Hom (Brooklyn, NY)
The last blind versus blind encounter Ryan Jones was involved in, he was crippling Brian Wilson, but he was not as fortunate this time, as he moved all-in from the small blind and would get snap called for less by David Hom in the big blind.
Jones rolled his eyes and looked towards the sky when he saw Hom turn over {Ah}{8h}, as he held {Ac}{4d}.
The board would run out {6h}{10s}{9c}{Qh} giving Jones some chop outs on the river, but that wouldn’t happen, as the {3h} would complete the board to give Hom a winning flush.
Had the river not been a heart, and lower than an eight, Hom would have won the pot anyway, but he certainly appreciated the improvement as he is now playing an average stack of 20,000,000 chips.
Jones has been on a wild ride for the last few levels and is now sitting with just over 7,000,000 chips, playing a sub-10 big blind stack for the first time today as we move into Level 39.
