Scott Baumstein raises from the small blind to 425,000, Marko Grujic reraises from the big blind to 1,100,000, and Baumstein four-bets it to exactly 4,000,000, leaving himself a single 25K chip behind. (Yes, we are one spot away from a $53,660 pay jump.) Grujic calls.

The flop comes Club JSpade 9Club 5, Baumstein checks, Grujic moves all in, and Baumstein calls all in for 25,000 with Spade JHeart J for a set of jacks. Grujic turns over Heart KClub K, and Baumstein needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn card is the Diamond 3, the river card is the Club Q, and Baumstein wins the pot with his set of jacks to double up in chips.

Scott Baumstein  –  8,200,000  (55 bb)
Marko Grujic  –  3,425,000  (23 bb)
