Avina Doubles Through Jacks
Level 37
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
David Avina raised to 2,800,000 from under the gun. Francisco Baruffi called on the button, and Randy Jacks joined the fray from the big blind.
Jacks led out for 10,000,000 on the 3♣5♦7♠ flop, which put Avina in the tank.
After some thought, Avina called off for his remaining 2,250,000 to be at risk. Baruffi got out of the way with a fold and sent them to a showdown.
David Avina: A♥Q♦9♠8♥
Randy Jacks: 9♥6♣6♦5♣
Jacks had the best hand when the chips went in, but Avina had several cards working for him with a straight draw and overcards.
The A♣ turn was one of Avina's cards as he improved to a pair of aces.
The K♦ river changed nothing as Avina doubled up.
