Aces, Kings and Jacks, Oh My!
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Action was picked up with three players all in preflop, all holding premium pocket pairs. Vladas Tamasauskas was in an early position and at risk, Jason Blodgett was in the cutoff, having both opponents covered, and Steven Tooley was on the button and also at risk.
Steven Tooley: J♥J♣ 
Vladas Tamasauskas: K♥K♣
Jason Blodgett: A♠A♦
Blodgett was in the ideal situation to accumulate three times his starting stack, and things looked good on the Q♥8♥9♠ flop. Blodgett winced ever so slightly as he saw the K♦ fall on the turn as he went from a huge favorite to a huge underdog. The river 4♠ was of no help, and Tamasauskas scored a huge pot in the early goings.
