Katz Spikes the Two-Outer
Level 11
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Action was picked up with both Rachid Ben Cherif all-in for 285,000 and Cary Katz all-in for 900,000, with Jans Arends putting both players at risk.
Rachid Ben Cherif: K♥Q♣ 
Cary Katz: 8♥8♦
Jans Arends: J♠J♦
Arends was ahead with pocket jacks, looking to score a double knockout. He stayed in front after the 10♠9♥6♦ flop, but the 8♣ on the turn gave Katz a set, giving him a commanding lead. Arends could not improve after the 6♣ completed the board, giving Katz more than a double up, and eliminating Ben Cherif.
