Savenick Picks Up Chips with Set of Jacks

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With 12,000 in the pot, and the flop reading {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, the small blind checked, and so did Bally's table games dealer James Savenick in early position. The button player put out a bet of 4,000, which led the small blind to fold before Savernick raised to 8,000, which got a call from the button.

The {k-Spades} came on the turn, and after Savenick led for 8,000 chips, the button player thought about it before open mucking {q-}{q-}. It proved to be a good fold, as Savenick flipped over {j-}{j-} for a flopped set.
