No Football for Jager
Level 7
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Arthur Conan opened 25,000 in middle position before Paul Jager jammed his last 214,000 across the line from the cutoff. The action folded back around to Conan and after briefly eying Jager's stack, he made the call.
Paul Jager: Q?8? 
Arthur Conan: A?Q?
Jager was dominated but the 10?9?8? flop gave him the lead with a pair of eights. Conan still had outs with a gutshot straight draw to chop, as well as an ace to win, but the 3? turn and 3? river meant Jager could remain seated.
"It was that or go watch the football game," said Jager as he pulled in the pot.
