Imejjan Making The Money; Lockett Up, They're In

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

During hand for hand play, the bubble burst quickly and in dramatic fashion as destinies were chosen.

In the black section of Paris, first action to play out all in, was a call off from a shorter stack after clock was call clocked on them on a board reading, 9Q8. The player in early position was at risk.

Early Position: KK
Badr Imejjane: J10

Imejjane had flopped the nut straight, leaving the at risk player a long way from catching up and the A on the turn and 6 on the river sealed the deal.

Over at another table, Jay Lockett called off against a shorter stack for a total of 77,000 preflop after being sandwiched in a raising war.

Opponent: AJ
Jay Lockett: 44

The flop gave his opponent some additional outs when it came 10K2, but the 3 and 6 bricked, leaving Lockett with a healthy stack moving into end phases of the day.
