Judah Not Betrayed by His Jacks

Mel Judah

A very short-stacked Mel Judah has just given himself a bit of extra breathing room after doubling through Felipe Ramos of Brazil. Judah shoved pre-flop holding a pair of red jacks and Ramos gave him action with {A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. EPT Warsaw runner-up Ricardo Sousa told the table he almost made the call with A-5, but ultimately let Judah and Ramos settle things themselves.

By the turn, the board had filled out {4-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} leaving Ramos hoping to hit one of seven outs to send Judah to the rail, but the {6-Hearts} on the river ensured the pot for Judah, who now sits with just over 16,000 in chips.
