Joseph Marchal was all in and at risk for 575,000 against chip leader Qing Liu.
Joseph Marchal: J♣J♥
Qing Liu: A♣A♦
Marchal had run his jacks into aces and didn't get any help from the 5♣K♣4♦ flop of 6♣ turn. However, the J♠ then appeared on the river to give him a set as he doubled in dramatic fashion.
"Did I get lucky or what?! But how many times has that happened to us?" Marchal asked his table mates as he proceeded to tell a story about getting aces cracked in the NAPT Main Event earlier this week.
