"Gambling Mood" Isn't Enough to Take Out Underwood

Level 12 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Benjamin Underwood, with five WSOP final tables since 2019 on his poker resume, put his last 30,000 in the middle from the cutoff and the original raiser called in the hijack.

Benjamin Underwood: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Underwood's opponent made a pair of eights on the {5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop before the {5-Diamonds} fell on the turn. The cutoff improved to two pair on the {9-Spades} river, but it wasn't enough to beat Underwood's jacks and fives as he doubled up.

"I was in a gambling mood," the cutoff said following the hand.
