Jacks, I Assume?
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Action was picked up on the flop with players heads up, the board reading 8♥7♣8♣ and a massive pot of 800,000 already in the middle. Scott Seiver moved all in, slightly covering Cody Jones stack of roughly 900,000.
Jones went deep into the tank, clearly faced with a tough decision.
"Jacks, I assume?" Seiver asked his opponent after about two minutes.
Jones quickly made the call to put himself at risk.
Cody Jones: J♦J♠
Scott Seiver: A♣K♣
Jones was ahead with the overpair but had to fade a lot of outs from Seiver, who had two overcards and the nut-flush draw. The turn came the 7♦ and the river came the J♣, giving Seiver the nut flush but Jones a full house to scoop the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
