Level 17 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Under the gun, Robert Cheung open-shoved his last 30,000 into the middle. Around the table in late position, Zhen Cai flicked the calling chips from his towering stacks, but the action wasn't done yet. From the big blind, Greg Cohen put both hands behind his 96,300 chips and shoved them forward on a reraise. Cai called instantly, and Cheung said, "Oh, shit..." Cards on their backs, fellas:

Cheung: {K-Hearts} {J-Spades}
Cai: {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}
Cohen: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}

"What do I need?" Cheung asked aloud. "Queen-ten-nine. Or trip jacks. How about trip jacks?"

Well, the {J-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} flop was a good start for the player in question, and he began asking the dealer for another jack. The {3-Spades} on the turn didn't change anything, but the river card was lightning in a bottle. The {J-Clubs} peeled off the deck, a life saver for Cheung.

Finding those trip jacks he was pleading for, the short stack has tripled back into contention with just shy of 100,000 chips now. It's a big hit for Cai who drops all the way back to 184,000, and the give-and-take for Cohen bumps him up to 132,600.
