Ma Rising After Big Hang With Falon

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 2,000 ante

The board showed {3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and both Zhi Ma and Alex Falon added 200,000 each to what was already a huge pot.

After the {j-Spades} dropped on the river Falon checked. Ma reached for his chips and slid out 250,000. Falon called shortly after.

Ma then tabled {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for a rivered set of jacks and took down the pot after Falon mucked his hand.

Chad Awerbuch
Chad Awerbuch

The player in middle position moved all in for around 90,000 and was followed by Chad Awerbuch in the cutoff who had 165,000. Everyone else got out of the way and the two players tabled their cards.

Chad Awerbuch: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Opponent: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

It looked like Awerbuch's opponent would double with the pocket pair until the board ran out {9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} to see him spike a jack on the river giving him the winning hand.
