Corront Doubles; Russon Busts Before Dinner
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Merwan Corront took a flip for his last 41,400 right before the end of the level and he was up against Warren Zackey to create the following showdown.
Merwan Corront: 4♣4♥ 
Warren Zackey: A♦Q♦
It became a mighty sweat on the 8♦6♠2♦ flop but Corront held up on the 3♠ turn as well as J♠ river.
"How do you miss there?" a stunned Zackey sighed.
One table over, Tutu Russon three-bet jammed a shorter stack out of the blinds and Menesh Keshav called in middle position.
Tutu Russon: K♣Q♥
Menesh Keshav: A♥8♥
The ace stayed ahead on the A♠J♣5♥2♦8♦ board and Russon hit the rail.
