Pocket Pair Is Good For Gordon

Unlike previously, Phil Gordon's pocket pair held up against an all-in. After a 14,000 preflop raise by Gordon, there were three players in on the flop.

Flop: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Gordon moved all-in and the player in the cutoff folded, leaving Gordon and the button, who was all-in, heads up. Gordon turned over pocket jacks and his opponent showed {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}. His opponent didn't improve and Gordon is up to 108,000.
