Gaines Makes the Right Fold as Jackson Hits the River

Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Glen Gaines and David Jackson built a pot of around 7,000 as they went heads-up to the Q♥10♥5♥ flop. Gaines then bet 2,000 from the hijack, Jackson raised to 6,500 in the small blind, and Gaines called.
Jackson checked the 8♥ turn and Gaines bet 5,000. Jackson called to see the 5♣ river, where he led out for 8,000. Gaines leaned back in his chair and took a few moments before folding.
Jackson showed Q♠Q♣ for a rivered full house as he took the pot. "I had kings with a heart," Gaines said.
