The 9♣ on the turn is a dream card for Jean-Robert as it makes him Trips with the best-possible kicker.
It is music to his ears, when Jen fires a $25,000 second barrel. JRB then raises to $70,000 and Tilly decides to chase her flush draw. Pot Size: $196.400
JRB needs to fade a Heart and the Q♣ was a safe card for him. Having missed, Jennifer steps on the break by checking and Bellande, who has only $109,000 behind, now has an easy shove.
Jennifer Tilly can’t call with bottom pair and JRB wins the biggest pot of High Stakes Poker Season 12 Episode 1 worth a whopping $305,400.
Jennifer Tilly hits a big river: $256,000 Pot
In the most thrilling poker hand of episode 1. Jennifer Tilly made a big move.
The $800 straddle was on once again and Justin Gavri made a UTG raise to $2,000 with 6♥5♥. Jennifer Tilly then made it $7,000 to go from the button with A♥Q♠, Gavri called. Pot Size: $15.400
Heads-up to a very interesting flop of 7♠4♣7♥ giving Gavri an Open-Ended Straight Draw and Tilly Ace-Queen high on a paired board.
So a continuation bet of $7,000 was in place, but then Gavri check-raised to $21,000.
Tough spot for Jennifer, was non-believer though, and made a large 3-bet to $60,000, but Justin is going nowhere. Pot Size: $135.400
The J♦ turn didn’t change much, and it went check-check with both players pursue cautiously. Pot Size: $135.400
That changed on the Q♥ river, which gave Jen Top Two Pair, while Gavri missed his straight draw.
He decided to pull the trigger though and went All-in for $60,000 total.
Being offered very favourable pot odds of 2.26 to 1 Tilly can’t fold having made her hand on the river and Jennifer wins a sizeable $256,000 pot.
