After a flop of Spade 9Heart 7Spade 6 with about 55K already in the pot, the UTG player is all in for 103,000 with Diamond JDiamond 9 for a pair of nines, and he needs his hand to hold to stay alive against the Heart 8Club 8 (gutshot straight draw) of WPTDeepStacks winner Quentin Jones in the big blind.

The turn card is the Spade 7, the river card is the Heart 9, and the UTG player wins the pot with a full house to double up in chips.

The next hand, Jones moves all in from the small blind for 126,000, and his same opponent thinks for a bit before calling from the big blind with Diamond ADiamond 8. Jones turns over Club AClub Q, and he needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board comes Heart KSpade QSpade 9Heart 8Spade 10, and Jones wins the pot with a pair of queens to double up in chips — putting him pretty much right back where he had started the previous hand.
