In an early hand, Jarod raised from the cutoff and got 3-bet by Nancy on the button.  Jarod called to see the flop of Jc8h4c.

Jarod checked, Nancy bet 6,500, and after some thought, Nancy called.  The turn was the 7s and both players checked.

River was the Ad and Jarod checked again.  Nancy bet 16,000.  Jarod tanked for a couple of minutes, then made the call, showing JsTs for a pair of Jacks.  Nancy mucked.
