Noam Muallem jammed for 20,000 from early position before the blinds jammed in their stacks for more.
Noam Muallem: 5♥4♥
Small Blind: A♣Q♣
Big Blind: A♠Q♦
"I'm in good shape!" said a thrilled Muallem.
Muallem was open-ended following the Q♥3♦2♣ flop and jumped into the lead following the 6♣ turn. The small blind now had a flush draw but the 2♦ river was a brick and Muallem tripled up.
