Level 38 : 60,000/12,000, 120,000 ante

Action was opened in late positon by Ao Chen to 250,000. Faraz Jaka was next to act and didn't think for long before announcing all in for about 3,000,000. The remaining players folded and Chen called.

Faraz Jaka: 9♠9♣
Ao Chen: A♦K♦

The A♥4♥10♣ flop left Jaka drawing to just two outs in the deck. Right on time the dealer burned and turned the 9♦ and suddenly Chen was drawing dead.

Jaka scooped a monster to grab the chip lead and send Chen down the leaderboard.
