Hansen Finishes Off Laurent
Level 37
: Blinds 70,000/140,000, 140,000 ante
Dylan Lauret was left with 60,000 behind after paying the big blind and ante. Gus Hansen opened to 285,000 from the cutoff, and David Kessas called in the small blind.
After some stalling to try to get the pay jump, Lauret stuck the rest of his stack in the middle.
With a 40,000 side pot in play, Kessas quickly check-folded to a bet of 155,000 from Hansen on the K♠5♠3♣ flop.
Dylan Lauret: 9♦2♣ 
Gus Hansen: Q♠J♦
Lauret had woken up with trash, but was still live against The Great Dane. Any hope was ended by the Q♦ turn however, the 3♥ river completing the board.
