Jager Takes the Initiative

Dimitar Danchev opened to 9,000 from early position, which Paul Jager and Stephen Chidwick called in the blinds.

Jager opted to lead out on the 3♣8♦3♥ flop, putting 12,000 into the middle. Chidwick folded, but Danchev called.

When the 9♥ turn hit the turn, Jager kept his foot on the gas, putting 35,000 into the middle. Undeterred, Danchev called again.

The 9♠ completed the board, and the action checked through. Jager tabled 8♣5♣, and Danchev mucked his hand.
