Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Paul Chanderson opened to 6,500 from under the gun before Faraz Jaka three-bet to 21,000 in middle position. Adam Weinraub then moved all in for 83,500 from the big blind.

Chanderson shoved his larger stack of 107,500 and Jaka took some time before putting in the call, leaving both opponents at risk.

Adam Weinraub: A♠K♦ All in
Paul Chanderson: K♣K♥ All in
Faraz Jaka: Q♠Q♦

Weinraub was drawing thin but connected in a big way on the A♠J♦A♦ flop. The 5♣ turn and 7♦ river changed nothing, as Weinraub celebrated his good fortune.

Chanderson took the side pot, putting a dent in Jaka's big stack.
