Bernier Hangs on With Jacks
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Three players had limped in before Jeffrey Cormier raised to 65,000 from the button. Pierre Bernier called from the small blind and the limpers got out of the way leaving Cormier and Bernier heads up to a flop.
Both players checked the flop, turn and river on the K♥8♦2♦A♦6♥ runout. Bernier turned over J♠J♥ for a pair of jacks and Cormier's hand hit the muck.
