Jamming With Air

When we reached the table, the board read {3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{k-Spades}, and there was about 35,000 in the middle. Roman Valerstein checked, and Zach Hall moved all in for effectively 58,000. Valerstein folded {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} face up and Hall showed {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

"Wowwwwww," Valerstein blurted. "Why would you do that?"

Hall laughed, and raked in the pot, pushing his stack over 100,000 chips.
