Crantz Scores a Double Elimination
Level 39
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Patrick Faraut jammed for 500,000 from under the gun. Lucas Vervey, who had just doubled through him, moved all-in for 4,335,000 from the hijack, but didn’t expect Jerome Crantz to call both stacks from the button.
Patrick Faraut: K♥J♦ 
Lucas Vervey: 10♦10♣
Jerome Crantz: A♥K♣
Crantz immediately took the lead by hitting top pair on the K♠2♥5♦ flop, putting both opponents at risk. The board ran out 8♦7♦, sealing the deal and sending Faraut and Vervey to the rail in 23rd and 22nd place, respectively.
