Jao Cracks Aces

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player in early position raised to 2,500 and he was called by a player in middle position as well as Johnny Jao in the small blind and the player in the big blind.

They went four-ways to the flop when it came {5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Jao checked. The player in the big blind took the betting lead and threw out 3,000 to which all the players called.

The turn card was the {9-Hearts}. The action checked to the original raiser who bet 16,000. The player to his left moved all in for about 45,000. Jao re-shoved having the previous player covered. The small blind and the original raiser both folded.

Jao said, "You have jack-ten?" to which his opponent responded "No" and they tabled their hands.

Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Johnny Jao: {10-Spades}{6-Spades}

Jao turned the straight and his opponent was drawing dead. The {9-Clubs} completed to board and Jao got the knockout.
