Hou Holds to Double Up
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Action folded to Zhenjie Hou in middle position, who raised all in for 121,000. It then folded to Keith Crowder on the button who made the call, to put Hou at risk. Once the blinds folded, the players were heads up, with the cards on their back.
Zhenjie Hou: J?J? 
Keith Crowder: A?10?
Hou was in a dominate position only needing to fade the one over card of Crowder, and once the board ran out J?Q?3?8?6? Hou improved to a set of jacks, to secure the double up.
