Kashani Reclaims Top Spot After Picking Off Joyce's Bluff

Level 34
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Philip Joyce made it 600,000 on the button and Christopher Brammer called from the small blind with 6?6?. Arian Kashani also called from the big blind.
The trio saw a flop of 8?2?8?, which checked around to the 10? turn, which also went check-check.
A J? dropped on the river where Brammer checked, and Kashani fired 1,100,000. Joyce then put in a raise of 2,800,000, which got a quick fold out of Brammer. Kashani thought it over for quite some time, but finally decided to make the call.
Joyce showed K?9? for a bluff, and Kashani took it down with J?3? after he rivered a pair of jacks.
