Jacks Hold for Morris

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

An early position raiser made it 1,600 to go and two players called. Richard Morris then three-bet to 12,000. The action folded back to the initial raiser, who moved all-in. Morris's opponent had him covered; if Morris called, he would be the one all-in. After a brief time in the tank, Morris decided to put himself at risk and call.

Morris - {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent - {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Morris was in good shape but had to hold to survive. The flop came {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, giving Morris's opponent a gutshot as well as set outs. The turn changed nothing with the {3-Clubs}; and the board completed with the {q-Hearts} to secure Morris the double up.
