Cauchard Fades Outs to Land Potentially Fatal Blow
Level 52
: Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 300,000 ante
Mirand Murseli raised to 8,000,000 from the button and Jeremy Cauchard defended in the big blind.
On the Q♣9♠6♠ flop, Cauchard fired out a bet of 4,500,000, Murseli jammed for 66,700,00, and Cauchard called off for his 44,100,000 total stack.
Jeremy Cauchard: Q♥9♣ 
Mirand Murseli: A♠J♠
It was two pair versus the flush draw, and if Murseli could hit the title was his.
The K♥ turn was a brick to the flush, but gave Murseli outs to the gutshot, but he bricked the 4♥ river, sending a crucial double-up to Cauchard.
This could be the key hand in the tournament, and Cauchard is now in a dominating position.
