Two Pair for Ward
Level 8
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
With about 20,000 in the pot, on a board reading 
, Presten Cloutier checked from the small blind and Jean Ernest Ward bet 25,000 from the hijack. Cloutier called.
The turn was the 
and both players checked to the 
on the river
Cloutier paused for a moment and then reached into his stack to bet 21,000. Ward wasted no time and called. Cloutier was hesitant to table his hand, so Ward showed 
for aces and jacks with a king kicker to scoop the pot.
