Jamal Earns Title of Bubble Boy
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Gary Eastwood got it all in for 155,000 on the button against Kamran Jamal in the big blind, who slightly covered.
Gary Eastwood: K♣J♠ 
Kamran Jamal: A♣Q♦
Eastwood pulled ahead on the 9♣J♣7♣ flop, pairing his jack, but Jamal still had plenty of outs with overs and the nut flush draw.
The 4♥ turn and 9♦ river were bricks for Jamal, leaving him with just 19,000.
The next hand, it folded around to Justin Akins on the button, who limped, and Jamal moved all in to put himself at risk. Zachary Baron called in the big blind and Akins tossed in the extra 7,000 as well.
Baron and Akins checked it down to the river on a board of A♣10♥J♠3♦Q♦ and Akins tabled the winner with 9♦8♠ for a straight, besting the J♥9♣ of Jamal and the 10♠4♣ of Baron.
