Saliba Hits Straight Flush to Double; Sun Falls to Le Goff

Kirk Brown

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Edgard Saliba open-shoved for 255,000 from the cutoff and was called by Jianfeng Sun to put him at risk.

Edgard Saliba: K♣9♠ All in
Jianfeng Sun : A♥8♦

Sun was ahead with his ace-high, but the runout of 10♠9♦Q♠K♠J♠ gave Saliba a straight flush to score the double.

Left short, Sun got it all in a few hands later against Damien Le Goff for his tournament life:

Jianfeng Sun: J♥10♥ All in
Damien Le Goff: K♦K♥

The runout of 6♠3♠J♦5♥2♣ failed to save Sun and he was sent to the rail as his chips were added to Le Goff's stack.
