Caouette Doubles; Almeida Distraught at His Fold
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Pablo Almeida made it 40,000 from the button before Nicholas Caouette jammed the button for 385,000. Iman Alsaden moved all in from the small blind for 500,000, causing Almeida to go into the tank. After mulling it over for a while, Almeida folded pocket jacks.
Nicholas Caouette: 7♠7♦ 
Iman Alsaden: A♦K♠
Caouette managed to find himself a flip after Almeida folded the bigger pair. The dealer produced the flop of J♣2♥9♥, keeping the sevens in the lead. The rest of the board ran out 2♦5♦, which meant Caouette doubled through Alsaden.
Almeida just put his head in his hands after seeing he would have tripled up, if he flicked in the call with his jacks.
