Sagstrom Snags a Jack

No-Limit Hold'em:

In early position, Eugene Katchalov opened the pot to 1,600. Eric Sagstrom and James Van Alstyne both came along with calls, and it was three handed to the flop.

It came out {9-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {7-Spades}, and all three players checked. Katchalov checked again when the {J-Clubs} hit fourth street, and Sagstrom took the opportunity to fire out a bet of 4,200. That was enough to get Van Alstyne out of the way, but Katchalov made the call to see the last card.

It was the {A-Hearts}, and Katchalov check-called a final bet of 9,000. Sagstrom showed up {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} for the set, and he took the pot as his opponent mucked his inferior holdings.
