With about 5,000 already in the middle and the board reading {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades}, Pierre Merlin bet 2,300 from middle position, and Chris George called from the button. The river brought the {J-Diamonds}, and both players checked.

Merlin tabled {A-}{Q-} for queens with an ace, but George flipped over {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs} for trip jacks to win the pot.
