Amaral Somehow Binks Both

Level 25

829QJ
8957K

Action was picked up on the flop, with Christopher Amaral all in and at risk against the covering stack of Jean-Marc Thomas.

Christopher Amaral: AAJ10 All in
Jean-Marc Thomas: 9876

Amaral had the same open-ender on both boards, with backdoor spades and aces. Thomas had top two on both, with a lower open-ender on top, and the nut straight already on the bottom.

Unbelievably, Amaral binked both straights on the turn, and held on the brick rivers. To add insult to Thomas' injury, tablemates confessed to folding pocket queens, as well as two lots of jack-ten and two sevens.
