Lipshultz Knocks Two Out to Take the Lead

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

The player under the gun shoved for about 50,000, the next player to act called to put himself at risk, and action was then on Evan Lipshultz. He called after brief consideration with a significantly covering stack, everyone else got out of the way, and all three players tabled their hands.

Under the gun: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Early position: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Evan Lipshultz: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

Lipshultz had the best of it and both of his opponents needed to improve to survive. The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Lipshultz's jacks held up for him to stack both players and vault into the chip lead.
