Jacks are Barrera's Best Friend

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Joseph Quaile opened to 25,000 but then big stack Tony Berrera moved all in to cover him. Quaile then went into the tank for a good while before folding J?J? face up.

"You folded that!?" Berrera was shocked, and then he himself tabled J?J? for the same hand as he scooped in the pot.

The very next hand, the heads-up board on the turn showed J?3?Q?9? when Berrara bet 40,000 after a check from his opponent, Jose Sanchez Estrada.

Estrada made the call and the duo saw the 5? arrive on the river and Estrada checked again.

"Ship it!" Berrera announced after he checked back and tabled A?J? for a pair of jacks while Estrada flipped over 10?10? for second best.

"Man, pocket jacks two hands in a row, then ace-jack! Crazy!" Barrera couldn't believe his luck as he is now the current chip leader.
