Duek Dashes Out a Double; Gets Some Chips Back
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Firas Kashat got his shorter stack in before the flop and was up against the red-hot running chip leader Michael Duek.
Firas Kashat: 
Michael Duek: 
The board came 
and Kashat turned treys full of jacks to survive.
Jered Bettencourt then raised to 160,000 shortly after with Duek flat-calling on the button, Dzmitry Urbanovich opted to defend the big blind as well. The 
flop was checked and subsequently folded by Urbanovich while Bettencourt bet 180,000 and Duek called.
After the 
turn, Bettencourt checked and Duek bet the pot for 960,000 to win the pot uncontested.
