Michael Lim raised early to 165k and it folded around to Pascal Gregoire in the big blind. He put out the call to see J♣7♣K♠ on the flop.
Gregoire checked to Lim who bet 230k. Gregoire tanked for a bit before announcing all in with the smaller stack.
“Fuck,” Lim muttered under his breath, and the dealer double-checked to make sure he didn’t say “call.” He eventually did say “Call” and he was drawing to straight clubs with eight-seven against top pair for Gregoire with king-nine of hearts.
The 4♠2♦ runout were bricks and Gregoire’s king held up for the win and the double. Lim was the leader with over 6 million, but he shipped about 2.5 million of that over to Gregoire, putting Lim down to about 4 million with Gregoire up to a bit more than that.
