Level 26 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Gabriel Le Jossec
Gabriel Le Jossec

Gabriel Le Jossec raised to 85,000 from under the gun and action folded over to Sunny Jung in the big blind. He three-bet the action to 220,000 only to have Le Jossec four-bet ship for 1.26 million. Jung called and the hands were exposed.

Le Jossec: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Jung: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

Jung was in a commanding position heading to the community cards. The flop came down {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Spades}, keeping Jung's ace high in the lead but giving Le Jossec a few additional outs with an inside straight draw. The {4-Clubs} fell on the turn, meaning Le Jossec needed to improve in order to stay alive. He did exactly that as the {K-Spades} completed the board on the river, giving Le Jossec a winning pair of kings.

Le Jossec doubled to 2.6 million while Jung dropped to about 1.85 million.
