Kowalk Finds a Double

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

There was 13,500 in the pot on a board of {j-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{q-Spades} and Curtis Kowalk had checked from the small blind. His opponent was in the hijack and put him all in for his remaining 18,100. After about a minute, he dropped in his stack to call.

Curtis Kowalk: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Hijack: {8-Spades}{7-Spades}

Kowalk found his set of jacks behind his opponent's flush, facing the potential music that his hand would be no good. He began pushing back from the table in his seat as the river fell {2-Spades}. The dealer pulled down the jack from the runout, pointing to the deuce as she stated Kowalk's {j-Spades} was best with four other spades on board.

"Wow, I was looking for the board to pair," said Kowalk as he scooted forward with newfound life.
