Jesse Jones continues to send foes and eliminated Jafar Kamarei (pictured) after picking off Kamarei's river shove to take a large pot.
Gable Hildebrand opened under the gun to 22,000 and Jones called in middle position. Kamarei came in the from the cutoff and the flop came out J♠8♦5♥. The flop checked through and Kamarei bet 35,000 on the K♣ turn. Only Jones called and the 8♣ completed the board. Jones checked again and Kamarei shoved for close to 300,000. Jones took a minute and called with Q♣Q♠, and Kamarei's A♥9♥ went into the muck.
