Kirsch Does His Best Weinman Impression by Spiking a Jack
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
A player in early position moved all in for around 400,000, another opponent reshoved for 650,000, and Daniel Kirsch had them both covered and at risk.
Early-Position: Q♦Q♥ 
Middle-Position: A♣K♣
Daniel Kirsch: J♠J♦
With most of his stack in the middle, Kirsch found himself dominated until the flop brought J♣8♥6♠, giving him top set. The rest of the board ran out 5♣2♠ and Kirsch scooped the entire pot to eliminate both players.
"Jacks have sunrun this table. They haven't lost once," tablemate Jayphong Nguyen said.
"I don't know if it's a good omen, but last year's champion had the same hand against queens and ace-king," Nguyen added.
"Actually it was kings," another tablemate replied.
"Kings? That makes it worse," Nguyen said.
