Pinkussohn Catches a Miracle to Double Through Baker

In what was likely Jay Pinkussohn's luckiest hand of the tournament so far, Patricia Baker limped from under-the-gun and action folded around to Pinkussohn, who announced he was all in for his last 114,000. Baker quickly called and announced, "Red rockets!"

Baker: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}
Pinkussoh: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Baker was an overwhelming favorite going to the flop, which came {4-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, giving Pinkussohn hope to catch one of the two remaining jacks in the deck.

The turn? {J-Diamonds}

Bink!

A meaningless {3-Diamonds} fell on the river and Pinkussohn doubled to about 240,000.
