Le Wins Huge Flip to Take Dominant Chip Lead
Level 31
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Mohamed Kerkeni open-raised to 350,000 from the cutoff and Tuan Le three-bet to 1,075,000 from the big blind. Kerkeni then four-bet all in and Le stood up to make his decision before quickly spinning around and announcing his call for 7.2 million chips. He was slightly covered as players flipped their cards for a huge final table hand.
Tuan Le: Q♠Q♥
Mohamed Kerkeni: A♥K♣
It was the most classic of poker races and the board ran out 10♥8♣J♥9♣7♥ to give Le the queen-high straight. He won the pot and secured a huge double up that put him well in front as the dominant chip leader.
