Devin Porter Takes a Hit

A player limps from late position for 1,200, Devin Porter calls from the button, and Bryan Devonshire checks his option in the big blind. The flop comes [Js9d7d], Devonshire checks, the late-position player checks, and Porter bets 3,500. Devonshire folds, and the other player raises to 15,000. Porter moves all in, and his opponent calls with [Jd9s] for top two pair. Porter shows [Jc8c] for a pair of jacks with a gutshot straight draw, and he’s hoping for a ten. 

The turn is the [5s], the river is the [Qc], and the two pair holds up to win the pot. Devin Porter takes a pretty big hit, dropping down to about 44,000 in chips.
