Ditrapani Doubles with a Set of Jacks

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

After arriving at the table with the board reading {j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades}{q-Clubs}, Chris Ditrapani had all of his 6,200 chips in the middle against an opponent. Ditrapani flipped over {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for a set of jacks while his opponent tabled {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

The Aria casino employee already had a lock on the hand and the {3-Diamonds} on the river was just a formality. Ditrapani scored himself a double-up to climb over twice the starting stack.

Another big stack in the field to keep an eye on is Tony Burns who has amassed nearly three times the starting stack before the first break of the day.
