Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Brian Battistone raised to 8,000 in early position, Ky Nguyen three-bet to 22,000 in middle position, and Battistone called.
Both players checked the J♦4♠7♦ flop. Battistone then bet 18,000 on the 3♠ turn and Nguyen called.
The A♣ river was again checked through and Battistone showed K♣J♣ for a pair of jacks. Nguyen turned over A♠5♠ for a rivered pair of aces as he took the pot.
