Patur Gets Value for his Jacks

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Preston McEwen opened to 60,000 and got called by button player Balakrishna Patur, leading them to the flop.

The flop came 1065. McEwen check-called Patur's 150,000 bet. The same thing happened when the 5 fell on the turn. After the action was passed to him, Patur fired another 250,000 into the pot, which McEwen called.

Finally, on the 3 river, after a third check, Patur kept the pressure with a 350,000 bet, making McEwen pause, clarify how much the bet was, then look at his chips. He picked the amount and set it aside, then put it back on his stack. After mulling things over for a few seconds more, he made the call.

Patur tabled JJ prompting McEwen to fold his hand.
