Assi Gets the Perfect Runout to Double
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
When it folded to Natan Chauskin on the button, he jammed for around 1,400,000 with just the blinds to get through. Salah Assi called for his last 700,000 from the small blind, and after the big blind folded, the cards were shown.
Salah Assi: K♥J♠ 
Natan Chauskin: K♣Q♠
Chauskin had Assi dominated, but the J♥8♥6♠ flop propelled Assi into the lead with a pair of jacks. The J♦ turn left Chauskin drawing dead, as the 8♦ river cemented Assi's double-up.
