Double Knock Out For England

Jordan Spurlin had played two hands the orbit prior to this other hand taking place, neither went to show down, and he chipped down quite a bit in the process. Sung Bin Ma was also nursing a short stack when this next hand unfolded.

Spurlin reraised from the small blind, Ma got it in as well, and Jonathan England was thrilled to get his chips in the middle as he covered both.

Jordan Spurlin: A♦K♥K♦3♣
Sung Bin Ma: 10♦10♠5♦6♥
Jonathan England: A♥A♠5♣4♠

The board peeled Q♣8♣6♦, a favorable board for England. The 7♠ on the turn did give Ma an open ended straight draw, but the Q♥ on the river secured a pot of about a million for England, who has been more than enthusiastic about his experience in this tournament thus far. He celebrated winning the pot and quickly apologized to his opponents, explaining he was just excited that he won, not that they lost.
