Mark Brennan raised to 1,100 on the butoon and Kenneth Stewart went all in from the small blind. Bernard Kibling made the call in the big. Brennan folded.
Kenneth Stewart: Q♣J♣
Bernard Kibling: A♣Q♥
Stewart was rooting, "No jack, no jack!" and as the 8♦10♠K♦ he said, "I like that!".
The turn bricked the 8♠ but Steward caught one of the cards he needed when the 9♣ fell and he collected a full double plus some.

With over $4,000,000 in career earnings, Kenna James is no stranger to winning tournaments.
He's made a total of three World Series of Poker final tables in his career but the closest he's been to the gold is a 4th place finish at the 2003 WSOP in a $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em Event ($36,140).
He got close again in 2006 when he finished 6th in the $2,500 Razz event ($29,472), a price point that no longer exists at the Series.
In 2019, James had to win all the chips at several tables in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shoot Out but eventually bowed out in 9th place.
An illustrious career is hardly complete without a gold bracelet, a task James has assuredly set his mind to.

Kenna James raised to 1,000 and Dennis Derge made it 3,000 on his direct left. It folded back to James and he made it 8,000. Derge went all in and James made the call.
Dennis Derge: J♥J♦
Kenna James: K♦K♥
The board ran out 7♦5♦10♦2♣3♣ and James dispatched his table neighbor.
Just moments later, Kenna was seen knocking out Dennis Derge when his pocket fives improved to a boat, collecting a massive pot.
Multiple bracelet winner, Daniel Heimiller filled the seat on James' direct left — making it a table of power houses that also includes Barny Boatman three seats to Heimiller's left.

Robert Goldstein was all in and at risk with cards on their backs against Julie Herbert.
Robert Goldstein: K♠K♥
Julie Herbert: A♥Q♦
The dealer fanned out 8♣K♦10♠, giving Goldstein top set and Herbert a gut shot.
The A♠ came on the turn but Herbert needed a jack to eliminate Goldstein but the Q♣ came on the river, just a further needle to Herbert as Goldstein collected the pot.
