Barron Doubles To Survive

A player in middle position opened for 4,000 and was called by the player on the button. NBA player Earl Barron then moved all in for his last 22,000 from the small blind. Both the big blind and the original raiser folded, however, the player on the button called and hands were revealed.

Barron: {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Opponent: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}

The {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} board left Barron with a pair of jacks for the scoop and he more than doubled up to 50,000.
