Aces Over Jacks
Level 10
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
With the board displaying Q♠10♣10♥2♠ and a pot of around 15,000 in play, Mazlum Celik, sitting in the small blind, checked to Erik van Hulst. Van Hulst responded with a bet of 10,500, and after some contemplation, Celik decided to call.
When the 7♠ landed on the river, Celik checked again, only to face another bet from van Hulst, this time for 5,000. In a bold move, Celik raised to 18,500, prompting van Hulst to snap-call without hesitation.
Celik revealed J♠J♣, showing two pair with jacks and tens, but van Hulst had the upper hand with A♠A♣, also for two pair but with aces and tens. Van Hulst swiftly collected the pot, showcasing his better hand.
