Chang Finds the Double Up

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action picked up on the flop in a hand between the player in the big blind, David Helpard who was under the gun, and Andrew Chang in the cutoff.

With roughly 10,000 in the pot and the board reading 7?4?9?, the big blind checked, Helpard bet 6,000, and Chang moved all in for 12,200, putting himself at risk. The big blind got out of the way and Helpard made the call.

Andrew Chang: J?9? All in
David Helpard: 5?3?

The turn landed the Q? and the river brought the J?, awarding Chang the double up with two pair, jacks and nines.
