Sunny Jung opened to 100,000 from the button and Gabriel Le Jossec three-bet to 275,000 from the small blind. Action folded back to Jung and he called to see a flop.

The dealer put out {A-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Le Jossec continued out for 220,000. Jung called and the {6-Hearts} hit the felt on the turn. Le Jossec kept up his aggression, moving out a bet of 420,000. Jung stayed the course to see the {A-Hearts} pair the board on the river. Le Jossec thought for right around two minutes before announcing a three-barrel all in for 785,000. This bet sent Jung deep into the tank. Minutes ticked away on the clock as Jung riffled chips and pondered his action. Right around the five minute mark, Jung grabbed a stack of chips and slid them out into the middle.

Le Jossec showed {A-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for trip aces with a jack kicker. Jung shook his head and flashed {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for the second best hand before his cards were pulled into the muck. Le Jossec scored the double and now has 3.6 million to his name.

Jung: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Barer: {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Jung led with his pocket kings, but Barer was drawing live with both an over card and four to a heart flush. The {K-Clubs} on the turn removed some of Barer's outs, giving Jung top set of kings.

Barer Doubles Twice In Quick Succession

Level 28 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Ami Barer was all in with {q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and not many chips so Sunny Jung gave him a spin with {9-Spades}{4-Spades}. That worked out for Barer as the board ran out {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}{10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{a-Spades}.

Not long after Barer shoved over Gabriel Le Jossec’s open for 380,000 and Le Jossec called.

Barer {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} against the {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} of Le Jossec.

A run out of {3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds} saw a laughing Barer back from the dead.
