Java Picks Up Steam
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
On a board reading 
, with about 27,000 in the pot already, a player in early position checked, and Nipun Java moved all in for his last 24,200.
Java sat still for a while as his opponent was visibly torn by the decision. He had less than 20,000 in front of him and would be at risk for his tournament life should he call. Several minutes passed, and eventually, a player at the table called the clock. A floorman walked over and counted down, and eventually, Java's opponent called.
Java tabled 
for the nut straight, and his opponent rapped the table in defeat and hit the rail.
