The Journey of "The High Jack"

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Derek Jensen
Derek Jensen

Derek Jensen is sporting a shirt depicting "The High Jack" during Day 1c, and that choice of fashion seems to be paying off.

PokerNews caught the end of a hand that saw Jensen's pocket jacks improve to quads, eliminating an opponent and improving his stack to 117,000.

Jensen told PokerNews he's picked up pocket jacks at least four times today, hitting a set once and finding four-of-a-kind in the aforementioned most recent hand.

"You can't miss with the High Jack shirt," Jensen said.

Big Blind: {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Ben Moon: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

The turn {7-Hearts} and river {6-Clubs} changed nothing, and Moon collected the pot.
