A Pair of Jacks is Better than a Pair of Tens

We caught up to table 265 to find Phil Laak with position against two opponents with a board of {2-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}. After being check-raised Laak contemplated a little, but made the call.

The player in Seat Five continued to put pressure on Laak and fired off another bet after the {9-Spades} rolled off on the turn. Laak again made the call.

With the {3-Clubs} finishing off the board, Seat Five bet out. Laak put the necessary chips in and showed {J-} {J-}, which was better than Seat Five's {J-Spades} {10-Spades}.
