Mike Caro was all in preflop for 8,800 holding pocket jacks. His opponent had raised to 1,100 and then Caro moved all in. The player called with {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}, leaving Caro racing for his tournament life.

The flop came down {K-Spades} {2-Spades} {9-Clubs}. The turn brought the {2-Clubs}, adding a flush draw for Caro's opponent to his two overcards. The river landed another nine, the {9-Spades}. Caro was able to double up and move to 18,000.
