After a flop of [QcQh6s] and about 60,000 already in the pot, Tom Marchese checks, A.J. Jejelowo bets 25,000, and Marchese check-raises to 62,000. Jejelowo thinks for a bit before reraising to 115,000, and then Marchese tanks for a while before making it 172,000.

Jejelowo five-bets it to nearly 300,000, and Marchese folds to forfeit the pot.

A.J. Jejelowo  –  890,000  (111 BBs)
Tom Marchese  –  180,000  (22 BBs)

After the hand, David "The Dragon" Pham jokes with Jejelowo, saying, "What’d you have? Nine high, bro?" Jejelowo laughs, but doesn’t reveal anything about his hand. Pham then asks him, "What’s your name?"

Jejelowo smiles and says, "Michael Knight." (That’s the name of David Hasselhoff’s character in the 1980s TV show "Knight Rider." It’s also the name of a fashion designer who appeared on the reality TV show "Project Runway.")

Pham doesn’t recognize the fake name, and says, "You’re a good player, Michael." Jejelowo laughs and tells Pham that he was just kidding about the name.
