Mallon's Top Pair is Good at Showdown
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Heads-up to the turn on a board that showed 9♦6♣3♣J♥. Out of the big blind, Nils Mallon knuckled the action over to Marek Tatar in the hijack. Tatar bet 55,000, which Mallon called.
Mallon checked again on the 10♠ river, and after a bit of tanking, Tatar checked behind.
Mallon tabled J♣8♣ for a pair of jacks, causing Tatar to return his cards face down back to the dealer, giving up the pot to Mallon.
