Shoves from Martin and Laypo

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Jean Brillant opened to 360,000 in early position, and Thilbaud Martin announced all in from the cutoff.

Brillant informed the table that his decision would take a while, eventually hearing the clock called. As time ticked down, Brillant let his cards go, showing AJ.

Shortly after, Michael Linster raised to 320,000 before Troy Laypo shoved on his immediate left. Action folded back around to Linster, who sent his cards into the muck and Laypo collected the blinds.
