Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Jacob Parent pushed all in with 160,000 chips from the cutoff with the flop reading: 4♠8♥J♥.

Timothy Vu, in the big blind, studied the hand so long that the talkative Parent went silent and eventually the clock was requested.

Before the floor reached the table, Vu called.

Jacob Parent: J♦9♠ All in
Timothy Vu: J♣7♦

Each had a pair of jacks, but Parent had the better kicker. And his nine played with the turn and river being K♠10♦.

"Why did you look so nervous?" Vu asked. " That's why I called."
