Touitou Turns a Jack to Crack Viox's Big Slick
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Rory Monahan made it 80,000 to go from middle position with 6♥6♣ and Greg Merson three-bet to 130,000 from the cutoff with A♠Q♦. Steven Touitou then shoved 335,000 from the small blind, Chris Viox shoved 1,085,000 from the big blind, and both Monahan and Merson folded.
Steven Touitou: A♦J♦ 
Chris Viox: A♥K♦
Touitou had run into Big Slick and didn't get any help on the 4♣7♥10♣ flop. However, the J♠ on the turn paired his jack and left him one card away from a much healthier stack. Viox was looking for a king or a queen, but couldn't find it with the 6♦ river, meaning a portion of his stack was sent over to Touitou.
"Let's f****ing go, Steven!" shouted someone from the rail.
