Top Set Can't Hold for Ladouceur

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Marc-Andre Ladouceur has dipped below his starting stack after top set failed to hold for him.

The action was three-way to a {j-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop and the action was checked to a player in late position who bet 2,500. David Gent was in the big blind and called before Ladouceur check-raised to 7,700 from under the gun. Gent snap-shoved all in for 18,050 after the third party folded and Ladouceur made the call.

Ladouceur: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} for top set.
Gent: {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for the nut flush draw.

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{7-Clubs} to make Gent's straight.
