Level 34 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Lulei Hu
Lulei Hu

Lulei Hu opened from under the gun. James Malatynski three-bet to 2,600,000 in the small blind. After using one time bank card, Hu decided to make the call.

On the Q♣10♣5♥ flop, Malatynski moved all-in for his remaining 12,700,000, and Hu quickly called taking the hand to showdown.

Lulei Hu: J♠J♣All in
James Malatynski: K♠K♣

Hu found some help on the J♥ turn, hitting a set of jacks. The Q♠ river paired the board but changed nothing, allowing Hu to secure the double-up.
