Herring's Jacks Hold
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Preflop action folded to James Herring in the hijack, who raised to 7,000. Action then folded around to the big blind, who moved all in. Herring asked for a count, and the total was 78,500. He thought for a few moments, before finally announcing "Call."
Opponent: 
James Herring: 
In a classic race, Herring was ahead and needed to dodge his opponent's overcards. The 
runout allowed him to do just that, and his jacks were still good. He scooped the pot while his opponent departed for the rail, but not before shaking Herring's hand and wishing the table good luck.
