Joshua Jurcic Jettisoned

From middle position, Joshua Jurcic opened with a raise, and Anthony Driscoll made the call on the button, as did the player in the big blind. The flop rolled out {Q-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {6-Hearts}. The big blind checked to the raiser, and Jurcic continued out with 2,600 chips. Driscoll came back with a raise to 6,400, isolating him against Jurcic who put in the call.

The turn brought the {J-Hearts}. Jurcic checked, allowing Driscoll to bet 10,000. Jurcic then proceeded to check-raise all in for his last 18,000. Driscoll made the call, putting his opponent's tournament life in jeopardy.

Showdown:
Jurcic: {Q-Spades} {10-Diamonds}
Driscoll: {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

Driscoll managed to find a second jack on the turn to take the lead in the hand. The river failed to improve Jurcic, as the {2-Clubs} spelled the end for him. He makes his exit, while Anthony Driscoll has chipped his way up to 68,000.
