Gaines Denied a Double on the River
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Three-handed on a flop of K♥8♥A♣, Stephen Barnes bet 1,600 from the button and David Jackson called in the big blind. Glen Gaines then moved all in for 8,300 from the cutoff, Barnes folded, while Jackson tanked for several minutes but eventually called to put Gaines at risk.
Glen Gaines: A♦J♣ 
David Jackson: A♥3♣
Both players showed down top pair but Gaines was ahead with his jack-kicker as the K♣ fell on the turn. The river was the Q♠ and Gaines' kicker was counterfeit as he had to settle for a chop.
