Jens Scores Early Double

In the third hand of the feature table, the action folded around to Robin Jens Colbin who open-shoved from the small blind for 351,000. Joseph Cheong called from the big blind and the cards were tabled:

Cheong: {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Colbin: {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Neither hand improved after the flop of {2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, but Colbin now picked up the gut-shot straight draw. He didn't hit any of those outs with the turn of the {Q-Hearts}, but the {6-Clubs} spiked on the river and that enough to give Colbin the double-up!
