Jacks Enough for the Scoop Multiway

Level 21

Stud Hi-Lo

Donovan Bates: XxXx / 247Q / Xx
Nikolai Fal: XxXx / 6K54 / Xx
Eddie Blumenthal: XxXx / 45KQ / Xx

Action picked up on fourth as Nikolai Fal checked to Eddie Blumenthal who bet, and both opponents called.

The same occurred on fifth as Blumenthal bet again.

On sixth, it checked to Fal who bet, and both opponents stuck around again. Seventh street would then be checked through.

Blumenthal revealed A93 in the hole for just ace-high after a missed low draw. Bates tabled A1010 for a pair of tens, and Fal was able to showdown JJ3 in the hole for a lone pair of jacks, which was enough to scoop a huge one.
