Jauregui Draws Better

Written by Kyle M | May 23, 2026 10:57:02 PM

On blinds of 1,000/1,500/1,500 and a flop of Q♦8♣5♦, Chan Pelton bet 5,500 from the lojack. Tong Mu raised to 15,500 from the button and Alex Jauregui four-bet to 40,000 from the small blind.

Pelton folded and Mu announced all-in for approximately 67,000. Jauregui quickly called.

Mu: A♦J♦ (all-in)
Jauregui: T♦9♦
Board: Q♦8♣5♦9♣7♠

Jauregui's flush draw was dominated by Mu, but Jauregui turned a pair of nines and held on the 7♠ river.

59 players remain.
