Kamber Finds an Unlikely Double
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Nathan Slater opened from under the gun to 125,000 and Mor Kamber shoved from the hijack for 675,000. When it got back to Slater, he called.
Mor Kamber: 9♣9♥ 
Nathan Slater: J♠J♥
Kamber was in serious danger of being out early on Day 3, but the poker gods were looking down on her as she spiked a set on the 9♠4♣A♠ flop to take the lead. No help arrived on the 5♦ turn or 10♦ river for Slater, and Kamber scored an early double-up.
"I literally folded jack-nine," said Thomas Swain.
