Jakovljevic Caught Speeding; Avoids a Ticket

Calum Grant

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Matthew Cole opened to 2,000 and was called by the player on his direct left and another. Blagojce Jakovljevic then moved all in for 26,000 from the cutoff. Cole then put in a four-bet which folded out the remaining players.

Jakovljevic immediately indicated that his opponent had him, and the cards went on their backs.

Blagojce Jakovljevic: K?2?
Under-the-gun: 9?9?

Jakovljevic paired his deuce on the Q?J?2? flop and then made two pair K? turn before holding out to double following the 5? river.

"You're hard to get rid of," commented a tablemate.

Immediately after, Jakovljevic opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and was called by the small blind. The 8?7?6? flop checked through to the 9? turn, and the small blind check-called for 2,200. On the 5? river, the small blind checked again and Jakovljevic bet 15,100 into a pot of 11,400.

"I block jack-ten but I don't have a club," agonized the small blind before folding.

Despite the alleged blockers, Jakovljevic was kind enough to show that he had the straight with his J?10?.
