Eames Looks Up Jensen with One Pair

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Sitting at a table with plenty of other big stacks, John Eames just became the biggest by besting Nathan Jensen in a large part early in Day 2.

With the board reading {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{A-Spades} and over 14,000 already in the pot, Eames found himself facing a bet of 5,000 by Jensen. The smallish sizing could have been intended to look like a value bet, but after thinking for over two minutes Eames decided to look up his opponent.

Jensen immediately said "nice call" as Eames flipped up his {4-}{4-}, building his stack to over 90,000 as we head to an early color-up break.
