Jacob the Next to Fall to Critical Condition

There were 3,000 chips in the middle for a flop of {9-Spades}

between the big blind and Alex Jacob. The big blind check-called Jacob's 1,000-chip flop bet, then another 2,000-chip bet on the {7-Hearts}

turn. Both players checked the {7-Spades}

river. The big blind took down the pot with two pair, sevens and deuces, made with {J-Diamonds}

.

"Couldn't let the kid won one, huh?" asked a frustrated Jacob. "Had to call with the jack-deuce?"

Jacob has just 2,000 chips left.
