Jamal motionless as he awaits his opponent's decision

Daniel Clemente raised his button and then Yunus Jamal reraised all in from the big blind for 2,120,000. After moving in, Jamal sat motionless at the table behind his sunglasses. Not a muscle of his moved. Clemente had his own pair of sunglasses on and gazed at Jamal hard while he tanked. He then made the call and the hands were revealed.

Jamal: {A-Hearts}

Clememte:

Although behind, Clemente did have two live cards. The flop came down {Q-Clubs}

and Clemente picked up top pair to take the lead. The turn was the {5-Clubs}

and left Jamal hanging on by a thread, needing an ace or a king.

After a moment's pause, the river card landed with the dealer flipping over the {A-Spades}

. Jamal's cheering section erupted in roars as Jamal pumped his fists and high fived them. He's right back in the game now with around 4.5 million chips.
