Jacks Hold for Barka for Massive Double

Level 9 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Michael Iakovlev raised 25,000 in the cutoff before the button three-bet to 65,000. Samy Barka was in the big blind and made the call before Iakovlev mucked his hand.

When the 832 flop hit the felt, Barka checked to the button who continued for 45,000. Barka raised to 160,000, putting the decision back on the button. After using a time bank, the button announced all-in. Barka asked for a count, and heard it was 1,045,000. After a few more seconds, he called off his stack of 868,000.

Samy Barka: JJ All in
Button: 43

Barka had an overpair, but was looking to fade the pair and flush draw of his opponent. The 9 turn, and the A river were safe as he secured the double.
