Jacks Help Nouira to Double
Level 21
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Maher Nouira made it 1,200,000 from the cutoff before Jesse Lonis three-bet the button to 5,000,000. When it got back to Nouira, he jammed for 10,150,000, and Lonis quickly called.
Maher Nouira: J♥J♣ 
Jesse Lonis: A♠10♣
Lonis would be up to over half the chips in play with three players left if he found an ace on the runout. But Nouira's pocket jacks stayed ahead the whole way on the 7♥2♣K♦9♦5♦ board, and he doubled up to 21,000,000.
