From the small blind with a raise and a call in front of him, WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart shoved to see both of the other active players in the hand call, one of whom was also all in. All cards were turned on their backs before heading to a runout.

Ty Stewart: JJ
Early Position: AxQx
Late Position: KxQx

The board ran out Q7J7A giving Stewart a flopped set and a full triple up. After the hand, Stewart said he went with the jacks because, "Jack Effel was standing there watching so it seemed like a good time to go with the jacks."
