One Jack Short of Jerky

Stewart Scott opened the pot with a raise, and three players made the call before Lana Maier raised to 3,750. Scott and two others folded, but a player in middle position came along to the flop.

Heads up then, the first three cards off the deck were {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {8-Spades}. Maier continued out with 4,750, and her opponent insta-called.

The turn card came the {7-Spades}, and Maier bet again, 11,000 this time. Her opponent called once more to see the river bring the {4-Diamonds}. Both players checked on the end, and Maier tabled {J-Clubs} {J-Spades}. Her opponent flashed his {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} as they went into the muck, and Maier has climbed to 60,000 by virtue of her triple jacks.
