The flop brings us the Js, Jc and Kd. Mike leads out with $7.50. He gets only one caller (a tight player) who started the hand with $51.75 in his stack. The pot now contains $28.25.
The turn is the Td. Mike leads out again - this time with a bet of $15.50. The villain raises all-in with his last $41 - making the pot $84.75 and requiring us to put in $25.50 more if we wish to see the river.
What do we do? Call and win? Call and watch our Rockets come crashing down? Pre-emptively self-destruct our Get Mark and Phil's commentary and the final answer in the comments section!! Or, listen to the "2009 Spring Session Week 7" podcast for the full discussion.

Phil leads out the discussion this week. He may have bet more on the flop, but isn't unhappy with the half/pot bets. By the turn he puts the villain on Big Slick or, more likely, K/Q with the Td on the turn giving villain 2 pair and an open-ended straight draw. Phil doesn't think we're beat and even if we are he's not going to lay down his Aces up for $25.50 with $84.75 in the pot on this hand. He calls.
Mark likes the betting pattern and has no fear of the Td on the turn. Instead he put the villain on a J - something like A/J or J/T (the most powerful hand in poker). He doesn't think the villain has enough money left to be trying to push us out and is rather making sure his money is in the pot to get a call from us. Mark saves $25 and folds.
Again, listen to the "2009 Spring Session Week 7" podcast for the full discussion.
Results:
Mike makes the call and villain turns over the Kc and Qs for Ks and Js and an open-ended straight draw.
The river brings a Jh giving our Hero a full house (Js full of As) to the villain's Js full of Ks. Mike's moon shot lands successfully and brings his stack to $231 at this stage of play.
