Amendola's Jacks Hold to Double

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

A string of preflop bets got Paul Amendola's remaining stack of about 11,000 in the middle against a single opponent.

Paul Amendola: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

A classic race for Amendola's tournament life was on the line as the dealer fanned out a {2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Spades} board. Amendola's pair held up to score the double.
