John Choleva raised to 2,500 in the hijack and an opponent in the cutoff called. Hunter Bregar then three-bet to 15,000 on the button and Choleva moved all in for 42,500. The cutoff folded, while Bregar quickly called.

John Choleva: JJ All in
Hunter Bregar: AK

Choleva needed his jacks to hold on to survive, and he successfully dodged the Q410109 board to earn the double up.
