Tatar Knows How to Play Pocket Jacks
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Hakan Varol opened under the gun and Nemanja Tatar shoved 53,000 on the button. Yevhen Korynetskyi called from the big blind, and Varol elected to fold.
Nemanja Tatar: J♦J♣ 
Yevhen Korynetskyi: A♣J♥
Tatar was ahead with his jacks, but he still had the runout to sweat. A few more outs for Korynetskyi appeared on the K♥10♣8♣ flop as he picked up a straight draw, but the K♦9♥ turn and river changed nothing, earning Tatar a double.
