Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Roughly 160,000 was already in the middle when Timothy Neufeld and James Hook took a flop of J♠K♠7♣.
Neufeld opted to jam for 154,000 from the small blind and was instantly called by James Hook in the hijack.
Timothy Neufeld: Q♠Q♣
James Hook: K♥J♥
Hook had Neufeld in trouble with top two pair, but the A♠ turn brought in several outs for Neufeld with a straight and a flush draw.
Neufeld was saved when the 7♠ river rolled off to give him a flush and outdraw Hook to stay in the tournament.
