Pots sometimes get exaggerated on Day 1s and, in blind on blind action on a Day 1 it’s probably even more likely, which at least partly accounts for what we just witnessed between Paul Scott and Alain Jobin on table 60.
The two players were in the blinds – Scott was sb, Jobin was bb – and we arrived to find Scott 4-bet shoving all-in for around 34K to Alain’s oversized (approx 12K) 3-bet. Alain made the call and the hands were revealed.
Jobin: 
Scott: 
It’s easy to see how a 70bb (effective) hand can develop with those hands, but it all happened very quickly even considering the relative strength of the hands.
In any case, Scott ended up binking his Ace right away on the flop: 
and there was no miracle for Jobin as the rest of the board was dealt: 
.
Scott and Jobin have effectively flipped stacks with Scott now playing upwards of 60K.
