Figueroa Calls Opponent's 5x Pot-Sized Jam and Wins

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Victor Figueroa opened to 3,500 from middle position and the big blind called.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and the big blind jammed 42,000 into a 9,500-chip pot. After slight deliberation, Figueroa called.

Big Blind: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Victor Figueroa: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}

Even though Figueroa was ahead with a pair of kings, he was about a 47.5% underdog to actually win the hand against the big blind's middle pair and nut flush draw.

However, Figueroa's pair of kings would hold as the board ran out {9-Spades}{5-Spades} to send his opponent to the rail.
