Shaban Finds a Dream Spot
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Thilbaud Martin opened to 250,000 on the button, and Abel Gebeyehu announced all in from the small blind. After taking some time, Arlie Shaban shoved his smaller stack in the big blind and Martin let his hand go.
Arlie Shaban: J♠J♦ 
Abel Gebeyehu: A♣J♠
Shaban showed down his pocket jacks, looking to avoid an ace on the board. The Q♦6♦2♣2♠5♣ runout was clean, as Shaban doubled up through Gebeyehu.
