Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Damien Le Goff raised to 200,000 from the cutoff and Yunkyu Song three-bet jammed from the small blind. Le Goff called off the bet for his effective stack of approximately 2,100,000 and the hand went to a showdown.

Damien Le Goff: A♥K♦ All in
Yunkyu Song: 8♥8♣

This flip quickly fell in the favor of Song as the 8♦J♣3♥ flop gave him a set. The A♣ turn gave Le Goff a pair, but he was in fact drawing dead. The 10♣ river changed nothing and Le Goff was sent to the rail.
