Peeks' Pocket Jacks Help Him Double
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Roeland Peeks raised to 120,000 from the small blind, and Xiaoyao Ma shoved from the big blind, covering Peeks. Peeks had around 970,000 in his stack to start the hand and, with the tournament on a pay jump, used plenty of his time banks before making the call.
Roeland Peeks: J♠J♥
Xiaoyao Ma: A♠9♣
Peeks' pocket jacks moved even further in front on the 7♥9♦J♣ flop, improving to top set.
The 10♠ turn gave Ma some chop outs, but none of them materialized on the Q♣ river, and Peeks doubled to over two million chips.
