On a board reading {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{j-Spades} with about 850,000 in the pot already, Xixiang Luo was all in from the big blind for his last 435,000 and got action from Amit Makhija.

Luo was the player at risk and tabled {q-Spades}{j-Clubs} for trip jacks while Makhija was behind with {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} for two pairs, aces and jacks.

Makhija needed one of the two remaining aces in the deck, but instead the river was the {2-Hearts} and Luo found a double.
