A Dream Flop Helps State Destroy Sun's Aces
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
There was a raise to 8,000 under the gun with Adrian State calling from the next position. Jianfeng Sun then squeezed it up to 26,000. The initial raiser folded, but State shoved for 220,000. Sun snap-called.
Adrian State: J♦J♣ 
Jianfeng Sun: A♠A♥
State looked poised to be headed out of the tournament as he had ran into the bullets of Sun. However, the flop fell incredibly favorable for State as it came 9♣J♠J♥ to give him quad jacks. Sun put his head in his hands in disbelief at having his aces likely cracked in such a brutal way.
The Q♥ turn secured the double-up for State as the 6♠ came on the river. State stayed alive, while Sun was left with roughly four big blinds.
