LeBlond Cracks Song's Aces
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Najeem Ajez made it 25,000 to go from the cutoff and Benjamin LeBlond shipped in his stack of around 340,000 from the small blind. Daewoong Song was in the big blind and four-bet shoved his stack of around 800,000, and Ajez quickly folded.
Benjamin LeBlond: K♠Q♠ 
Daewoong Song: A♣A♥
LeBlond had ran into it and was on the brink of elimination, but did pick up a gutshot on the 3♥10♥A♦ flop, which also have Song top set!
The J♦ on the turn did complete LeBlond's straight, but the job wasn't done as he still needed to avoid the board pairing on the river to double up.
The 6♦ was safe, though, and he raked in the pot to bring his stack up to over 700,000.
