A Pair of Jacks is Good for Veksler

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The flop read {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs} with around 9,000 in the middle.

Justin Young bet 3,000 from the hijack and Pavlo Veksler called on the button.

The turn brought them the {7-Spades}, Young took a second or two before betting 6,700 and Veksler looked at Young's stack. Young showed him and Veksler decided to make the call.

The river completed the board with the {3-Clubs} and Young slowed down by checking. Veksler cut out some chips and then decided to bet 20,000. Young spread the bet to see how much it was, contemplated his options for a bit longer, and then made the call. Veksler tabled {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for the flopped pair of jacks with the ace-kicker which was enough for Young to muck his hand.
