Eric Habrich was raking in a massive pot after doubling up through Naveen Sama, and the table helped fill in the details.

The flop came J92 and Sama checked to Habrich, who bet 12,000. Sama then raised to 37,000, and Habrich called.

The turn was the J and Habrich bet 30,000. Sama then moved all in, and Habrich called for 117,000. Sama showed AA, but Habrich had hit trips with AJ.

The river was the 4 and Habrich doubled up. Segoviano then told him he had folded king-jack, meaning Habrich had hit the last jack in the deck on the turn.
