Jencs With The Nuts

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action was picked up on the turn in a pot between four players that included Beau Jencs in early position and Lou Marks in the cutoff.

The board read AJ7Q and action checked to Jencs who bet 500. Marks raised to 1,400 which folded out the other two players and Jencs three-bet to 5,500.

Marks called to see the river 4 and Jencs bet 10,000 to earn a quick call from Marks.

Jencs tabled K10 for Broadway, which was good enough to best Marks' QJ for two pair.

"Why couldn't you have ace-ten there instead," lamented Marks as Jencs raked in the pot.
