Jin Knocks Out Two In Back-To-Back Hands

Level 11 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Xin ''Jay'' Jin caught fire as he hit his heater moment of the day. After opening under the gun for 4,000, a short stacked player jammed all-in from the big blind for approximately 50,000 chips. Jin called quickly and he needed help with his {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} up against {k-Spades}{k-Spades}.

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for a rivered flush for the Virginian native, knocking out his opponent who exclaimed ''You're kidding me!'', as she exited the room.

In the very next hand, Jin was in the big blind, facing a limp from the small blind. He raised to 12,000 and his opponent called and checked to him on {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop. With the pot at 26,000 chips, the small blind checked and Jin put his opponent to the test, putting him all-in for his last 60,000.

Without too much time passing, the small blind player decided to call and turned over his {q-}{10-}, which was behind against Jin's {a-}{9-}.

The turn {j-Diamonds} and {2-Spades} river changed nothing and the player was eliminated. Within two hands Jin's stack increased by over seventy percent. Another player at the table muttered ''Interesting'', whilst smiling and looking over to PokerNews staff.

All players have now moved to Ballroom at Bally's to conclude the day.
