Double Knockout Vaults Labat into The Lead

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
Brent Ballentine & Antoine Labat
Brent Ballentine & Antoine Labat

Michael Fail raised to 210,000 from early position and Alex Lynskey called on the button. Brent Ballentine moved all in for 1,435,000 in the small blind, and Antoine Labat in the big blind asked for a count, then announced the call. Feil moved all in for just over 7.5 million to force an instant fold from Lynskey. Labat called in a heart beat.

Brent Ballentine: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Michael Feil: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Antoine Labat: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

"This is so sick," queens versus kings and aces, Feil said when he flashed his own cards high for his rail to see. The board came {J-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and the stacks were counted. Labat had more than 8 million in chips, thus confirming a double knockout and vaulting the Frenchman into the top spot.
