Mashal Adds to His Stack; Le Hits the River to Double
Level 36
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
When action folded around to Hakeem Mashal to he moved all in with K♣J♥, neither of the blinds got involved, allowing Mashal to pick up some chips uncontested.
The very next hand Sebastiaan de Jonge moved all in from the small blind, covering Allan Le in the big blind. Le took one look at his cards and made the call.
Allan Le: A♦Q♥ 
Sebastiaan de Jonge: 10♣6♣
The flop kept Le in the lead, coming down 9♥9♦K♥, but the turn 10♥ moved de Jonge into the lead.
Le had plenty of ways to retake the lead and keep his deep tournament run going, and the river Q♣ did just that, improving him to a better pair than his opponent.
