Roller Coaster Double for Capps Against Coelho
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Diogo Coelho raised to 400,000 in the hijack and Jesse Capps three-bet to 2,900,000 on the button with 25,000 behind. The blinds folded and Coelho pushed all-in, Capps called.
Jesse Capps: J?J? 
Diogo Coelho: A?Q?
"It is a flip, jacks versus ace-queen," Capps told his nearby rail.
When the flop came A?K?8?, he sighed "oh no, an ace" but then jumped up high in the air several times when he spiked the J? on the turn. Capps cooled down enough to tell his rail to wait with the celebration as he needed to dodge a ten.
The river was the 4? and his double-up was confirmed.
"Is this real life?" he gasped before sitting down to stack the chips.
On the other side of the table, Coelho just smiled as he paid off the double with a very calm demeanour.
