Joseph Crowley raised to 9,000 in early position before Luis Rodriguez moved all in for 31,500 in middle position. Michael Ciarlante then shoved his larger stack from the small blind, and Crowley got out of the way.

Luis Rodriguez: AA All in
Michael Ciarlante: JJ

Ciarlante's pocket jacks found some help on the K910 flop, picking up a straight draw. The dealer flipped over the Q turn, and Ciarlante completed his draw to take the lead.

Rodriguez could only watch the 8 river end his run, as Ciarlante shook his hand before collecting the pot.
