Laigneau Narrowly Avoids Exit as Bubble Approaches
Level 19
: 3,500/7,000, 7,000 ante
Thierry Laigneau moved all in from the cutoff with a short stack of 28,000 and Adrien Dumont isolated with a shove from the small blind. The two players flipped their cards, with Laigneau at risk.
Thierry Laigneau: A♥4♦ 
Adrien Dumont: A♠J♠
Dumont had Laigneau dominated, but Laigneau found some outs when the flop came 3♦2♣9♣ to give him an inside straight draw. The turn was a blank, the 9♦, but the 4♥ river brought Laigneau a pair. He won the pot and doubled his stack, narrowly avoiding a late exit as the bubble approached.
