Farid Jattin raised UTG+1 to 12,000, a player in middle position moved all in for 98,000, and Jattin called with 10s10h.

Jattin’s opponent turned over KsQc, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 9d6d4dJcJh, and the pocket tens held up for Jattin to win the pot and eliminate his opponent from the tournament.
