Stankov Doubles Through Lagan
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Around 18,000 was in the middle already on a completed board of 9♥9♦3♦4♥5♠, in a hand between Ivan Stankov in the cutoff and Paul Lagan in the big blind.
Lagan checked and Stankov jammed for 9,500. After some thought, Lagan made the call, but was shown the bad news when Stankov tabled J♠J♥ for two pair, jacks and nines, which bested Lagan's J♣3♠ for two pair, nines and threes.
