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.
Current chip leader Qing Liu opened under the gun to 60,000 before John Rock moved all in from middle position. It folded all the way back to Liu who got a count and called.
John Rock: A♣2♣
Qing Liu: A♦Q♦
The full board ran out 5♦A♥8♦6♥4♦ and Liu drilled the nuts on the river to send Rock to the rail.
