Jacks Work For Bojovic, But Not For Nazarian
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez raised to 85,000 on the button before Luka Bojovic moved all in for 1,175,000 in the small blind. Salazar Sanchez tanked for several minutes before calling.
Luka Bojovic: J♣J♠
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez: A♣J♥
The 5♦7♥3♠8♠Q♠ board brought no relief to Salazar Sanchez and he handed over the double up to Bojovic. Salazar Sanchez was left with around 100,000 and was eliminated the next hand.
At the same time on another table, Ali Al-Kubasi had raised to 100,000 on the button, then called when Karen Nazarian moved all in for 1,390,000 in the small blind.
Karen Nazarian: J♣J♦
Ali Al-Kubasi: A♦K♥
It was Nazarian's turn to hope his jacks held on to double up, but he wouldn't have as much luck as the board came 7♦K♠Q♦2♣Q♣, giving Al-Kubasi two pair and the knockout.
