Jacks for ElkY

No-Limit Hold'em

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier opened to 2,300 from the hijack seat, Jason Mercier three-bet to 6,800 from the small blind, and Grospellier called. The flop fell {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, Mercier led for 6,200, and Grospellier called.

The turn was the {7-Clubs}, and Mercier led again - this time for 11,300. Grospellier called.

Both players checked after the {9-Diamonds} hit the river, and Grospellier opened up {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for a pair of jacks. Mercier mucked, and ElkY took down the pot.
