Porter Tags Jazzar Again

It's all going Rep Porter's way so far today. That's bad news for Rony Jazzar, who keeps playing pots with Porter. Porter opened a pot to 75,000, then called when Jazzar re-raised the small blind to 150,000.

It was quick action on the flop and the turn, with each player checking. Jazzar's check on the turn was particularly fast and loud. At the river, the board was {10-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {8-Spades}. Jazzar checked again. Porter took that as his cue to finally bet, putting 150,000 chips over the betting line. Jazzar looked agitated, banging chips together faster and faster and shaking his head.

Yet in the end Jazzar called. Porter showed {J-?} {J-?} for two pair, aces and jacks. Jazzar mucked, once again on the short end of a heads-up showdown.
