Short Saved By a Miracle Runout

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

John Short and Kang Chong saw a flop of 886 when Short got his last 250,000 in the middle from the hijack and Chong put him at risk in the cutoff.

John Short: JJ All in
Kang Chong: A8

Short showed down two jacks, but Chong had flopped trips to leave Short in danger of elimination. The turn, though, was the J as Short spiked a full house. Chong needed to make quads to score the knockout, but instead it was Short who hit the last jack on the J river to secure the double-up.

"Wow, what a turn," Chong said with a laugh as Short raked in the pot.
