Five Jacks in the Deck

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Eli Loewenthal opened to 1,600 in middle position, Kevin Saul three-bet to 4,800 on the button, and a player in the small blind moved all in for 50,600. Loewenthal tank-called, and Saul folded.

Loewenthal: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The flop fell {6-Clubs}{j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, giving Loewenthal a set of jacks, and it was all over when the {4-Spades} turned. A meaningless {10-Spades} completed the board, and Loewenthal raked in the pot.

"Same hand," Saul told Loewenthal.

"You had jacks too?" Loewenthal asked him.

There was a beat.

"You flopped a set," someone said.

The entire table broke into laughter as Loewenthal stacked his newfound chips. He was momentarily embarrassed by his mistake, but that's nothing that 210,000 chips can't cure.
