Saab Hits Quads

Level 13 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

The board read {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} with 47,500 in the middle already.

Majid Saab shoved from the big blind for 63,000 and Jarrod Thatcher was contemplating his option from the cutoff for a while. After counting out calling chips and taking a bit more time, Thatcher called but mucked when Saab tabled {j-Clubs}{10-Spades} for quad jacks.
