Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Samuel Cortois
Samuel Cortois

Samuel Courtois raised to 12,000 under the gun, Stephen Joseph moved all in from the hijack, and Courtois called for 122,000.

Samuel Courtois: A♦Q♥ All in
Stephen Joseph: A♣K♠

Courtois was dominated and at risk, but he caught top pair on the Q♦5♠7♦ flop to take the lead. The rest of the board ran out 6♦6♥ and Courtois doubled up, leaving Joseph with just over a big blind.
