Djenkal on Seven Figures After Gargantuan Flip
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Graeme Newman had opened in early position when Gael Djenkal three-bet to 35,000 in middle position. Newman responded with a four-bet to 100,000, to which Djenkal responded by five-betting all in.
Newman spent two of his time banks before he decided to put his stack of 460,000 at risk, and dropped in some calling chips.
Graeme Newman: J♠J♥ 
Gael Djenkal: A♠K♥
Newman's jacks stayed ahead on the 9♦2♥8♣ flop and 5♣ turn. Much to Newman's dismay, however, Djenkal spiked an ace on the A♥ river to lock up the gigantic pot.
Djenkal was pushed the chips as Newman wished his former tablemates good luck and headed to the payout area.
