The Ballad of Kings and Aces (Again)

Ron Jenkins raised to 3,700 from middle position, and it folded back around to the player in the big blind who called.

The flop came {2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}. The BB player checked, Jenkins fired out 7,000, and his opponent then reraised to 22,000. Jenkins called.

The turn was the {Q-Spades}. The player in the big blind didn't waste too much time pushing all in for 54,200. Jenkins thought for a couple of minutes before finally making the call.

Jenkins showed {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}, while his opponent held {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. "Thought you might have nines," said Jenkins, referring back to the fact that his opponent had just called his preflop raise.

The river was the {J-Hearts}, and Jenkins took the pot and eliminated another player. He's up to 180,000.
