Korenev Busts Brecard
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Roman Korenev opened to 50,000 from middle position and short-stacked Julien Brecard defended his big blind, with about 120,000 left behind.
On the J♠10♦9♠ flop, Brecard checked to his opponent. Korenev fired out a bet of 150,000, and Brecard got the rest of his chips into the middle.
Julien Brecard: Q♣J♦ 
Roman Korenev: A♥K♠
Brecard was ahead with top pair jacks but still had outs to fade.
The Q♥ rolled off on the turn to put Korenev in front with the nut straight, and the K♥ river completed the board, confirming Brecard's fate.
