Kerrien Flips His Way into the Chip Lead
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Anthony Kennedy opened to 80,000 from the hijack before Peter Zolnai made it 220,000 on the button. Clement Kerrien four-bet to 700,000, which pushed out Kennedy. Zolnai then jammed for 2,400,000 which sent Kerrien into the tank.
After a few minutes, the clock was called and Kerrien, who covered Zolnai, flicked in a chip to set up the biggest pot of the day.
Peter Zolnai: 10♥10♦
Clement Kerrien: A♣K♥
It was a huge flip between two of the chip leaders and the J♦7♠5♣ flop kept Zolnai ahead. He then groaned as the K♦ turn gave Kerrien the lead which he never relinquished as the board completed with the 7♣.
