Velasco Pairs His Jack to Double Through Jakutis
Level 21
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Laurynas Jakutis opened the hijack and Juan Velasco shoved the cutoff for 173,000. When it got back to Jakutis, he called.
Juan Velasco: K♦J♦ 
Laurynas Jakutis: A♠9♥
Jakutis was looking to score a knockout and climb the counts, but the J♥3♦4♥ flop paired Velasco's jack and put him in the driving seat. Some hope arrived for Jakutis in the form of a flush draw on the Q♥ turn, but the 2♣ river bricked out, which meant he had to cough up the chips over to Velasco.
