After a flop of Diamond AHeart 10Spade 8, action checks to Jean-Francois Carrier, who moves all in from the button for 51,500. Wo Jun Chen calls all in under the gun for 47,000, and Matthew Metallic waits for exact counts before he folds from UTG+1.

Chen shows Club ADiamond J for a pair of aces with a jack kicker, and Carrier turns over Spade ASpade 9 for a pair of aces with a nine kicker. Chen needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn card is the Diamond 6, the river card is the Club 2, and Chen wins the pot with his jack kicker to double up in chips, knocking Carrier down to just three big blinds.
