Pitavy Drills a Jack to Stay Alive
Level 18
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Emilien Pitavy raised to 1,100,000 in the hijack with just a few big blinds behind. Rob Yong three-bet to 2,000,000 on the button, and when it folded back to Pitavy, he jammed for 2,095,000, which was quickly called by Yong.
Emilien Pitavy: A♥J♠ 
Rob Yong: A♣K♣
Pitavy looked poised to be the next customer to the payout desk, but the 2♦4♠J♣ changed those chances as he hit a jack to take the lead.
The 8♦ turn and 7♦ river didn't help Yong, and Pitavy doubled up to almost five million.
