Iakobishvili Wins a Crucial Flip
Level 14
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
From the hijack, Gha Iakobishvili raised to 160,000, and Klemens Roiter three-bet to around 615,000 from the big blind. Iakobishvili four-bet jammed for 2,430,000 and Roiter quickly called.
Gha Iakobishvili: J♥J♦ 
Klemens Roiter: A♣Q♠
Roiter only had one big blind more than Iakobishvili, so this flip was pivotal to both players' future in the event.
Iakobishvili won the race with his pocket jacks as the board fell 9♣2♣8♦K♦4♠, and he doubled to over five million.
