: 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Nikolas Stone opened with a raise under the gun and Thomas Koral called from the hijack. Action was on Richard Crystal who jammed for 127,000 from the big blind and was called by Koral after Stone mucked his hand.
Thomas Koral: 
Richard Crystal: 
Koral was ahead with his made hand of jacks until the 
flop hit the felt pairing Crystal's ace.

turn brought Broadway draws for both players but the 
fell on the river to give Crystal the double up.
