Djenkal on Seven Figures After Gargantuan Flip

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Gael Djenkal
Gael Djenkal

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: JJ All in
Gael Djenkal: AK

Newman's jacks stayed ahead on the 928 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.
