Another Lesson Learned

Men "The Master" Nguyen called an opponents all-in preflop holding pocket jacks. His opponent turned over {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} and the race was on. The flop came {K-Spades} {4-Spades} {2-Clubs} and though Men had his opponent covered, it wasn't by much. The flop meant Nguyen would be down to almost 15,000 and Men was visibly upset after seeing a flop that could cost him the tournament. However, the {J-Spades} fell on the river and Men let out a loud "Yes!" and followed it up with a slight "suck, and resuck" statement.

After the hand, Men is among the chip leaders with 210,000.
