Buturin Doubles Up

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

On a flop reading {2-Clubs}{J-Spades}{3-Clubs} Claudio Pagano bet 1,200 from the under the gun position and the next two players to his immediate left also got in on the act. First Andrey Baturin moved all in for a total of 8,600 and Fabrice Gouget made the call. Suddenly Pagano's hand did not look as attractive and got out of the way.

Gouget: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Baturin: {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Gouget held the advantage but he needed to avoid a club in order to win the hand. The {K-Clubs} on the turn catapulted Baturin into the lead but now it was his turn to have to dodge cards; with all jacks in play Baturin now needed to the river not to pair the board. If he was praying to a higher being then they were answered as the river was the {5-Spades} and he is now back in business with more than 20,000 chips.
