Jacks Claim Another Victim as Nelson Falls
Level 31
: Blinds 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante
Norman Nelson was all in for his final 2,900,000 from the big blind, at risk against the slightly covering stack of Mikal Smith in the hijack.
Norman Nelson: J♥J♣
Mikal Smith: A♦K♥
Nelson was flipping for his tournament life as the K♦9♠7♣ flop paired Smith, and Nelson needed to find a jack. Unfortunately for him, the board ran out 7♦4♣ and he was eliminated in 21st.
