Arends Busted on a Beat

Level 28 : 15,000/30,000, 3,500 ante
Jans Arends
Jans Arends

Jans Arends opened for 75,000 in middle position and Damian Salas set him in for about 600K effective out of the big blind. Arends called it off holding {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} and Salas was dominated with {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}.

The {10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} left Arends fading jacks and nines, and Salas found a {9-Spades} river for a straight.

The remaining 35 players are all in the money and on break. Luckily for Arends, he did sneak into the money as Joni Jouhkimainen also went bust.
