Stephen Sola had run up his short stack to around 100,000 and open-jammed on the button as Robert Natividad called in the big blind. "Let's gamble," said Natividad.

Stephen Sola: 66
Robert Natividad: 65

Sola was in great shape to double up, though the flop of 89A gave Natividad some hope with a gutshot. As it happened, the board finished out 8A to double pair and the two players chopped the pot, with both playing the board.

"The least likely of outcomes," said Dylan Linde.

"I appreciate the action," said Sola as he pulled his chips back.
