Grax Gets Timely Double

Jerome Solomon

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Konstantin Cugunov raised to 60,000 from the cutoff. Sebastien Grax, in the small blind, moved all in for 700,000.

Cugunov made the call.

Sebastien Grax: K♣Q♥ All in
Konstantin Cugunov: J♣J♥

Cugunov was ahead in the race until the cards hit the table.

Grax paired a queen on the flop in the runout of 2♣A♠Q♣3♥9♦ and that was all he needed for the double-up.
