Brutal Two-Outer Cripples Jones (FT)

Creighton Jones and Joe Eckford had come into the final table as the shortest stack and the third shortest stack respectively. Now they were three-handed with $10,200 secured and $21,160 for first place.

On blinds of 100,000/200,000/200,000, Eckford opened to 475,000 from the small blind. Jones three-bet from the big blind to 1,375,000. Eckford moved all-in and Jones called it off as the covering stack.

Jones: A♠A♦
Eckford: J♣J♦
Board: T♥5♣2♥9♠J♥

Players had exchanged pleasantries as Eckford's jacks were at risk. Eckford had put on his backpack and was walking away when the 9♠ hit the turn.

"It's not over yet," Jones said. The two-outer hit the river with the J♥ and Jones was crippled.
