West Spikes Two-Outer to Double
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jonathan West was all in for 326,000 in the cutoff and at risk against Derek Whelan under the gun.
Jonathan West: J♥J♣
Derek Whelan: Q♥Q♣
West was pipped against the slightly superior premium pocket pair and the 10♣6♣5♦ flop changed nothing.
The K♣ turn left West needing a jack as he got up from his seat, but the J♦ spiked the river and Whelan slammed the table at the sight of the unlikely result. West collected the double, while Whelan was left with only 5,000 and was eliminated shortly after.
