Kanme Plays Jacks Perfectly
Level 12
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ali Al-Kubasi moved all in from under the gun for around 180,000, and Raoul Kanme called off his stack of 135,000 from the button.
Raoul Kanme: J♥J♣
Ali Al-Kubasi: A♦10♠
Kanme's pocket jacks put him in a strong position to double up, as he simply needed to avoid an ace.
He managed to do exactly that on the K♦3♥2♥3♠8♠ runout, and his jacks remained best to earn him a double through Al-Kubasi.
