Defending Champ Sends Chrisp to the Rail

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Kane Lai
Kane Lai

Action folded to Max Chrisp on the cutoff and he raised to 17,000. Kane Lai, who won this very event back in March, then three-bet to 37,000 from the button, both blinds folded, and Chrisp called, leaving himself just 35,000 behind.

When the flop came down {j-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, Chrisp moved all in and Lai quickly called.

Lai: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Chrisp: {j-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Both players had flopped a pair, but Lai's was best. Chrisp needed a third jack to stay alive, but it didn't come as the {4-Hearts} appeared on the turn followed by the {K-Spades} on the river.
