Corront Doubles Back Into Contention
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Merwan Corront had previously lost a flip with king-queen against the 8♠8♣ of Danny Dayani when he hit a flush but Dayani improved to a full house.
Corront now three-bet jammed for 234,000 into an open raise worth 21,000 by Gareth Kalil. Darryl Shaff reluctantly folded and Kalil reluctantly called with the far bigger stack.
Merwan Corront: Q♦Q♠ 
Gareth Kalil: 7♥7♦
The Q♣J♠4♦J♥J♦ board gave Corront queens full of jacks.
"I folded ace-queen," Shaff mentioned in the table chat.
