Jesse Chinni has the button in Seat 9. Action folds around to Albert Iversen who makes it 55,000 to go. Jesse Chinni makes the call and sees a flop of {3-Spades} {4-Clubs} {5-Hearts}.

The last card off the deck is the {9-Diamonds} and Iversen fires again, this time making it 175,000 to play. Chinni makes the call and Iversen turns over {J-Spades} {10-Spades} for a pair of jacks which is good enough to take down the pot.
