[Removed:550] Gets Value with Jacks

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
[Removed:532] (as seen in a previous event)
[Removed:532] (as seen in a previous event)

The blinds have just passed through [Removed:532]'s seat, and [Removed:550] was involved in both of the previous hands.

First hand saw [Removed:550] in the big blind, calling a raise to 3,000 from a player in the hijack. There had already been one limp from a middle position, and the limper wanted to see the flop, too.

The {6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop brought a 3,000 cbet and only [Removed:550] paid before the {2-Clubs} went check-check.

The river card was the {K-Clubs} and [Removed:550] checked again, letting his opponent fire another 3,500. [Removed:550] thought for a bit before calling, only to see opponent's {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}.

The next hand ended up better for [Removed:550], who was in the small blind. With the preflop action unknown, it seemed that [Removed:550] three-bet over a raise from the cutoff as there was already more than 20,000 in the pot when the two players checked 5sKsKc flop.

They checked the {8-Diamonds} turn, too, but [Removed:550] led out 8,500 on the {2-Diamonds} river. He received a call, so he announced, "jacks", turning over his {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} to take down the juicy pot.
