Dimitrii Valouev Gets Max-Value With Jacks

We watched professional Dmitrii Valouev, who cashed three times in last year's WSOP for $69,011, push all-in over his opponent's bet of 700 to put his last 2,100 at risk.

The board read {2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and his opponent snap-called with his {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. The other player let out a shout of anguish, however, when Valouev revealed his {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for a better overpair. After the {2-Diamonds} hit the river, Valouev had earned the double-up and crippled his opponent in the process.
