One of the main characteristics of No-Limit Hold’em is the volatility of chips. A player with millions can be left with nothing in just a few hands, just as a player can go from having one chip to taking all of an opponent’s stack. Something like this happened tonight at Hustler Casino Live, when player Jesse went from having US$500 to winning a pot of US$31,000.
He paid an all-in with Ace High and ended up winning US$60K at Hustler Casino Live
Jesse had had a pretty tough start to the night, losing almost his entire stack until he was left with only US$500. Little by little, he won small pots until he managed to get a considerable and competitive stack again. But, despite having almost fully recovered, the hand that would define his night was yet to come.
Two players limped for US$40 before Sashimi decided to raise to US$300 with A 3. Jesse, who by this point had already surpassed US$10K, decided to 3-bet to US$800 with 10 10. JT called with A 6, as did DJ Washburn with A 6.

The flop showed 7 7 10, giving Jesse a full house, who was about to complete his definitive recovery and the most epic comeback of the night. All three players checked, revealing the 2 on the turn, to which Washburn bet US$1,600.
Jesse called and JT tried a risky play, announcing all-in for US$11,940. Incredibly, Washburn called with his flush draw, and so did Jesse, who couldn’t believe how his opponents were handing him their money. The J on the river changed nothing, and Jesse took the pot of US$36,290.
