Hand #60: Michael Jex raised from under the gun and Matt Russell, in the small blind, was the only caller. On the flop, Russell check-raised Jex and was called.
The hit the turn, and Jex called a bet from Russell, and on the river Russell bet once more, which left him with around 30,000 behind to play with. Jex sized up his stack before raising enough to put Russell to the ultimate test.
Russell needed time to think, but he did eventually make the call.
