Night, Night Jacks

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Travis Lavine got all in preflop with pocket jacks against a player holding for the remainder of her 13,000 stack.

"Night, night jacks," said Mason Hinkle as the dealer put out the board.

A king came on the flop, putting Lavine behind, but a jack came on the turn and he took down the pot to eliminate his opponent.
