Fung Doubles through Lellouche

On the first hand back from break, Antony Lellouche raised from late position to 30,000. Small blind Steven Fung then re-raised all in for 367,000 total. Lellouche thought, and thought, and then thought some more before finally calling with {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}.

"Sick call," said Jonathan Little.

Fung turned over {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts} and the race was on. He won it on a board of {Q-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {2-Hearts}, making a pair of queens to overtake Lellouche's fives.

Lellouche is now down to a short 207,000. Fung is up to a more robust 753,000.
