Jacks Hold Up for Pihela Jr

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jianwei Lin opened to 8,000 from under the gun and Igor Pihela Jr moved all in for 102,000 from middle position. Lin made the call to put Pihela at risk.

Igor Pihela Jr: J?J?
Jianwei Lin: 9?9?

Pihela had the best of it with a bigger pocket pair and was well ahead on the J?8?Q? flop, although Lin did have a straight draw. Lin picked up a flush draw to go with it on the 5? turn but the 3? river was a brick and Pihela scored a full double up through Lin.
