Zhao's Jacks Knock Out Two
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Vito Vella in the big blind, Xiaowen Zhao in early position, and Diego Montone in the hijack had gotten all their chips in preflop. Montone was at risk for 261,000, Vella had put in 288,000, and Zhao covered them both.
Diego Montone: A♥K♣ 
Vito Vella: K♠K♥
Xiaowen Zhao: J♥J♣
Vella's kings remained ahead on the Q♥9♠7♦ flop and 10♦ turn, but Zhao made a straight on the 8♣ river. He scooped up the monster pot, eliminating both Montone and Vella in one fell swoop.
