Lovett’s jacks shoot down rockets


A player from UTG min-raised to 800 and saw the hi-jack player re-raise it to 2,100. Brian Lovett at the small blind flat-called. Action back to the original raiser, he three-bets to 5,700 forcing the fold from the HJ. However, Lovett decided to put everything on the line and went all-in for all of his 24,000+ chips.

Easy call for UTG player who showed he had the pocket rockets and was up against Lovett’s pocket jacks.

The flop 3 J 8 immediately shifted the tide in favor of Lovett and the turn 2 and river 7 assured that it stays that way much to the chagrin of the opponent, whose stack got cut down to below 8,000.

Lovett meanwhile is loving the jacks and has now over 48,000.
