Pairs in Their Pockets

[user66118]

Hold'em -

Allen Cunningham once again opens from middle position, putting it up to 8,000. Gabe Costner calls further down the line, and it comes around to David Bergerson in the cutoff seat. He makes a stand, reraising all in for his final 26,300 in chips. Cunningham folds, but Costner stays in and looks him up. The two men both turn over pocket pairs:

Costner: {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{7-Diamonds}

Bergerson: {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

The board fails to give Costner the help he wants, as it runs {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

. Bergerson's well-timed jacks win him a nice pot, keeping him alive and more than doubling him up to 64,000.
