Set of Jacks for "HSV_Gandi"

Level 18 : 3,500/7,000, 825 ante

"HSV_Gandi" opened to 21,000 from the hijack. "1LevelAbove" three-bet jammed for 153,240 from the big blind and got a call.

"1LevelAbove": {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
"HSV_Gandi": {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

The coinflip was decided relatively quickly with "HSV_Gandi" hitting a set on the {2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop. The {9-Clubs} on the turn and the {a-Diamonds} on the river completed the board and "HSV_Gandi" extended their stack to near 700,000.
