Danias Wins an Important Flip
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
John Tech raised from middle position to 30,000, and Kachun Kan called from the next seat. Nicholas Danias jammed for 240,000, and Tech moved in over the top. Kan folded, and the cards were turned over with Danias at risk.
Nicholas Danias: A♥J♣
John Tech: 9♥9♠
Tech's pair of nines stayed ahead on the 6♦7♦2♣ flop, but the J♠ turn improved Danias to a pair of jacks to take the lead. The 6♥ came on the river, cementing Danias' double-up.
