Two for One Special for Labranche
Jonah Labranche opened to 50,000 from early position to start the hand. David Stefanski decided to risk it all with a shove for 330,000 on the button. Tony Huang also went all-in for 195,000 from the small blind before Labranche called to put both at risk for their tournament lives.
Tony Huang: A♠Q♠
David Stefanski: A♦K♣
Jonah Labranche: J♥J♦
It was premiums all around, but Labranche had the best of it as they went to a runout with his pocket jacks.
The flop vaulted Huang into the lead when it came 7♥2♥Q♥ to give him a pair of queens; however, Labranche was still drawing to plenty of outs with his flush draw.
The 10♦ was a safe card for Huang, although it gave Stefanski a gutshot straight draw going into the river.
Labranche would clinch the hand when the 9♥ peeled on the river to give him a flush as he scored the double knockout to eliminate Huang and Stefanski.
