Mather Chipping Up
Level 9
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
This hand was picked up on the river of a pot that swelled to over 40,000 with a board that read 4♠8♠5♥4♥Q♣.
Thien Tran put out a bet of 17,000 from early position. Robert Mather quickly called to go to a showdown.
Tran showed A♥5♣ for a pair of fives, but Mather had more firepower than that as he tabled J♦J♠ for a pair of jacks to best Tran and take down the pot.
