Nuri Gets Value from "Spraggy"

Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Axel Hallay opened to 5,000 from under the gun and Karo Nuri flat-called on the button before Benjamin Spragg defended out of the big blind.
The flop of 2?4?J? checked through and Spragg and Hallay both checked again on the 4? turn. Nuri bet 10,500 and only Spragg called.
Spragg checked a third time on the 3? river and Nuri bet 15,500. Spragg peeked at his cards and looked over to his opponent before calling. Nuri showed J?9? for a pair of jacks and Spragg mucked.
