Jacks Are Enough for Theologis
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Alexandros Theologis kicked things off in the hijack with a raise to 2,500 and found callers in Bernhard Binder on the button and Christopher Nguyen in the big blind,
On the 2♦J♦9♥ flop, everyone checked to Binder, who bet 3,500, and Theologis was the only one who stuck around.
Theologis checked the 5♠ turn and Binder continued for 25,000. Theologis used his whole time bank before making the call.
Both players checked the 3♦ on the river, and Theologis turned K♠J♣ for a pair of jacks with the king as kicker, which seemed enough for Binder, as his cards found the muck.
