Under the gun, Balasz Botond opened with a raise, and the action passed all the way around to the big blind. Ludovic Lacay took a look at the man to his left and made a raise to set Botond all in. Without hesitation, Botond committed his final ~230,000 chips to the pot to put his tournament life in jeopardy.

Showdown
Botond: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

Lacay:

{K-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

Botond had the best of it, and he would love the flop. It gave him the nuts as it fell {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

to give him Broadway right out of the gate. The turn {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

and river

{10-Hearts}

locked up his double up, moving him to about 480,000.

Don't worry about Lacay; he's plenty healthy still with 2.1 million.
