Gardner Finds a "Dream Spot"
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Mark Brodsky opened to 25,000 in the cutoff, and Akash Patel three-bet to 55,000 on the button. After taking some time, Rob Gardner moved all in from the big blind for 156,000.
Brodsky went into the tank, opting to let his hand go. Patel then made the call, leaving Gardner at risk.
Rob Gardner: J♥J♦ 
Akash Patel: K♠J♣
"Dream spot," remarked Gardner as he watched the J♠Q♥6♥ flop give him a set of jacks.
The 4♠ turn changed nothing, while Gardner improved to a full house on the 6♦ river as he earned the double.
