My Boat's Bigger Than Your Boat

On a board showing {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {J-Spades} Matthew Brinckley opened with a 1,500 bet that was called by Michael Tran. The river was the {8-Spades} and Brinckley fired again, this time for 3,000. Tran then reraised all in for a total of 11,500 and Brinckley made the call:

Showdown:
Brinckley: {6-Spades} {6-Hearts}
Tran: {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs}

Tran's jacks full one-upped Brinckley's sixes full and he successfully doubled through to 30,000 in chips. Brinckley fell to 14,000 in the loss.
