Erceg Rivers a Jack
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Vladimir Erceg raised from under the gun to 160,000 and Haydar Issa called on the button. Gabriel Akiki also called in the small blind.
The flop came 6♠8♦K♦, and all three checked to the board-pairing K♥ turn, where Akiki checked and Erceg bet 150,000. Both Issa and Akiki called.
A J♥ hit the river and all three checked to showdown, where Akiki showed pocket sevens. They were no good, though, as Erceg flipped A♠J♦ for a rivered pair of jacks to scoop the pot.
