Affleck's Pair Is Better

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Matt Affleck
Matt Affleck

Matt Affleck raised to 4,000 from early position, a player in middle position called, and the small blind three-bet jammed for about 40,000. Affleck shoved over the top, the middle-position player folded, and the two live players tabled their hands.

Matt Affleck: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Small blind: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

Affleck had the better Broadway pair and his opponent needed to improve to survive. The {K-}{9-}{7-} flop changed nothing, the turn and river were blanks, and Affleck took the pot to send his opponent to the rail.
