Action was picked up on the turn with players heads-up and the board reading J♣J♦6♥7♠. A player in the big blind checked and Luis Faria bet 7,000 from the cutoff, roughly a pot-sized bet. His opponent made the call.
The river came the 8♣ and the player in the big blind bet 1,300 into the pot of approximately 21,000. Faria moved all in, covering his opponent's remaining stack of roughly 30,000. The player in the big blind thought about his decision briefly before making the call.
Big blind: A♦8♥
Luis Faria: 10♠9♣
Faria had made a straight on the river to eliminate his opponent, who mentioned that he knew he was ahead until the river and that Faria definitely did not have a jack.
