Niste Picks Up Jacks to Double

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

When the action folded to Mihai Niste in the cutoff, a series of betting saw him maneuver his 18,700 into the middle versus Dmytro Smyrnov on the button.

Mihai Niste: J♥J♣ All in
Dmytro Smyrnov: 9♠9♣

There was no help for Smyrnov on the 10♦5♣A♠ flop, and the J♠ turn saw him drawing dead.

The 6♥ river completed the board, and Smyrnov passed a double up to his neighbor.
