Chan Spikes a Jack to Score a Huge Double
Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Jakob Miegel raised to 800,000 from middle position and Lok Chan three-bet to 2,100,000 from the cutoff. Simon Levy jammed with a covering stack from the button, forcing Miegel to fold. Chan took a few moments and then called for his stack of 7,000,000 total.
Lok Chan: J♦J♥ 
Simon Levy: K♥K♣
Chan was in a lot of trouble with pocket jacks versus the Cowboys of Levy. However, the flop of A♦10♣J♠ propelled Chan into the lead with a set. The rest of the board came 3♦8♥, and Chan cemented his double-up.
