Shamus

Alex Jacob

A player in late position raised to 1,100, and it folded back around to Alex Jacob who called from the big blind.

The flop came {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Hearts}

. Both checked. The turn was the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

. Jacob tossed out 2,100, and his opponent called.

The river was the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

. This time Jacob bet 4,700. His opponent rubbed his temples as he considered what to do. Jacob sat sullenly, staring out at the board from beneath his enormous 'fro. Finally his opponent counted out the chips and made the call.

Jacob turned up his cards -- {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

for trip jacks. His opponent mucked. Jacob is back up to 25,500.
